Re: lawns and global warming

The best answer has nothing to do with gardening.  It is simply that we, as a species, must stop our infernal reproductive activity.  There are already too many people in the world, and it will get even worse if something isn't done.

Which brings up an interesting question.  In at least  some parts of the 
ountry, when golf courses close, they are replaced by  housing developments.  
n, for example, a 50-acre former golf course, you  might now have 16 
cMansions on 3 acre lots, or 50 smaller houses on 1-acre  lots, 150 even 
maller 
ouses on 1/3 acre lots, or 1,000 or more townhouses,  with lots of paved 
oads. 

o, the question is this:  Which is better (or, rather, less  bad):  a golf 
ourse with all its liabilities?  Or a housing or  townhouse development 
ith the attendant paved surfaces, heading/cooling  systems, their own water 
equirements, automobiles, requirements for new schools  and other buildings, 
tc?  I don't pretend to know the answer, but it would  make an interesting 
tudy, if it hasn't already been done.

And, perhaps  more to the point, Judy, what about golf  courses?
