Or just don't use pesticides for your residential property.

Maybe I’m unique but growing up part of my chores (or punishment) as a kid was weeding - weeding the vegetable garden, weeding flower beds, weeding the stone driveway etc. - we would have never used chemicals around the house or on things you’re going to eat - we were definitely not a super “environmentally conscious” household but that just seemed like common sense…
Right? Grow some wild flowers instead of grass and plant some f*ckin trees. Americans love their yards but dont plant any trees. You know what creates shade?

I realized my rant is charged and unhinged. But idc. I hope at least 1 person sees this and pays the $200 to hire someone to plant a young tree in their yard.
