It doesn't have to be an artificial, shiny-green lawn. It can be a green space of native plants as well.

Also, grasses can be great CO2 sink as well, depending on the conditions and maintenance routine: https://sustainability.stackexchange.com/questions/4534/is-g...

Neither is living in a crowded urban area or riding bikes.

But OK let's not nitpick, I'm not talking about only regarding CO2, it was just an example of something that is relevant these days for a lot of people.

My point is that would be interesting to study this as matter of what kind of life would be better, given different metrics.
