00:00We really are lucky to be doing this.

00:04To do this work is a blessing.

00:06We love feeling like we're a part of something much bigger than ourselves and so that's what

00:10we're trying to do by spreading the good word, Gospels if you will, of the anti-lawn movement.

00:16Perhaps there is something really lewd and lascivious about having this mowed turf in

00:20front of your house.

00:21An idle perversion.

00:22You think it's some kind of perverted fixation that people just unquestioningly go along

00:28with?

00:29Undoubtedly, brother.

00:31Undoubtedly.

00:32This one, this is new owners right here.

00:36You really think they're ready?

00:38Yes.

00:39And remember, we must speak to them about their lawn, on their lawn.

00:44Joey and Al came to us with this idea, this radical idea that we need to completely change

00:52and tear out our lawn.

00:53In glorious concoction of many turf grasses, but maybe this is something that it's time

00:58to go.

00:59How do you feel about it?

01:01I think this is what we've been waiting for.

01:04Al, do you have anything you'd like to say?

01:09I would like to invite you to speak words of commitment.

01:14We are now true converts.

01:16I think it was really important to do what they were saying just because we do want the

01:23world now to invite the philosophy of converting your lawn into a native habitat.

01:30And so native plants will foster and nurture these living things.

01:33So that something like the lawn ruins all of it.

01:36Temper your humors, brother.

01:38Temper your humors.

01:39Calm down.

01:41So what we're going to do is we're going to put in a variety of native plants, planting

01:46beds and then we're going to use wood chips to take the place of the lawn.

01:53You ready to sign on the dotted line?

01:54Yay.

01:55Okay.

01:56As much as I love this work, I've been forced to hold back some feelings that come up at

02:00times and given the opportunity to actually remove a lawn lets those feelings come out.

02:21When we participate in our rituals, a lot of people, sometimes they're taken aback.

02:30But part of exercising our beliefs is, is what you've just seen here.

02:39I feel like it went really well.

02:43Went very well.

02:44Yeah.

02:45We feel really good about all of it.

02:46It is important to do ridiculous things.

03:00Because the brain as it ages gets so used to structure that it starts to die out.

03:07And the best way to break structure is to do something in your environment, your immediate

03:11environment that is radical and different.

03:15And what better way to do radical and different than to kill your lawn and to have something

03:20grow there.

03:21Every year our numbers grow more and more.

03:26People like us, we're going to be there.
