IF YOU ARE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND YOU JUST DO NOT
LIKE DROUGHT FAMILY LANDSCAPING, WE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR YOU.
A
RECENT TREND IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR THOSE WHO STILL
WANT GREEN LAWNS, BUT DO NOT WANT TO WASTE THE WATER IN ORDER
TO WATER THE LAWNS AND MAKE THEM GREEN.
WE HAVE A QUICK VIDEO
FROM AJ PLUS, JUST SHOWING A SNIPPET OF THE REPORT THEY DID,
AND IT EXPLAINS WHAT IS GOING ON IN CALIFORNIA WITH THESE PAINTED
LAWNS.
TAKE A LOOK.
MY NAME IS JOSH COX, AND I'M THE OWNER OF MIRAGE LINE
PAINTING.
WE SPECIALIZE IN PAINTING LINES THAT HAVE TURNED
BROWN DURING THE DROUGHT.
WE
PAINT THEM BACK TO THEIR NATURAL COLOR. 80 OR NINETY PERCENT OF
THE LAWNS ARE BROWN OR HAVE
BROWN SPOTS.
SO, PLACES LIKE FRESNO CALIFORNIA ARE NOT ABLE TO
WATER THEIR LAWNS AS OFTEN BECAUSE OF THE RESTRICTIONS.
THE ENTIRE VIDEO HAS LOTS OF INTERESTING TIDBITS OF
INFORMATION REGARDING THE DROUGHT, AND WHAT PEOPLE
ARE DOING TO WASTEWATER, AND ALSO SAVE WATER.
WE HAVE THE FULL VIDEO IN THE LINK, IN THE DISRUPTION BOX.
I ALWAYS ENJOY TIDBITS, TIDBITS ARE FUN.
THIS IS
HILARIOUS, AND I'M GOING TO OUT SOMEBODY ON THE SHOW.
BEN
MANKIEWICZ HAS PAINTED HIS LAWN.
EVERY YEAR
I GET HAPPIER AND HAPPIER THAT I DON'T OWN A HOME,
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A GIANT PAIN.
SUCCULENTS ARE LIKE
DESERT PLANTS, THEY LOOK LIKE MANY CACTI BUT THEY ARE
BEAUTIFUL.
THAT IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA,
LANDSCAPERS ARE SAYING YOU LIVE IN A DESERT AREA, SO WHY
NOT PUT DESERT ITEMS ON YOUR LAWN.
THAT'S REALLY WHAT THEY DO, THEY COME UP YOU AND THEY GO,
YOU KNOW, WHY ARE YOU DOING TIDBITS OF CACTI AND GETTING
SOME SUCCULENTS IN YOUR PLACE?
I LOVE THIS, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT WANT THE
SUCCULENTS OR CACTI IN THE YARD, THEY CAN PAINT THEIR YARD.
MY
FIRST SAW THIS I THOUGHT, I DON'T KNOW, IT IS OKAY FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT?
IT TURNS OUT THAT IT IS.
THEY USE ALL-NATURAL
PRODUCTS IN ORDER TO PAINT THE
GRASS GREEN.
I KNOW I AM TAKING THEIR WORD FOR IT, BUT ACCORDING
TO THE OWNER OF EXTREME GREEN
GRASS, AND THAT'S NOT A MARIJUANA DISPENSARY, IT
USES A NATURAL EARTH PIGMENT THAT THE COMPANY'S OWNER
TOLD USA TODAY IS NON-TOXIC TO THE ENVIRONMENT.
I THINK SUCCULENTS IS EITHER A SEX ACT, OR SOME SORT OF DEMON
THAT COMES OUT FROM THE GROUND.
I DON'T KNOW.
HOME
APPRAISERS CARE ABOUT EVERYTHING, BECAUSE THEY ARE
LOOKING TO SEE HOW MARKETABLE THE HOUSE IS, HOW EASILY THEY
CAN SELL IT.
IF IT HAS A BAD
YARD, IT IS HARDER TO SELL.
I ONCE HAD A HOME APPRAISER COME TO MY HOUSE.
FINALLY, ON THE ISSUE OF THE DROUGHT, GETTING SERIOUS.
SOMETIMES I DRIVE BY BEVERLY HILLS.
GUESS WHAT?
THEY'RE NOT PAINTING
. WE GOT THIS HUGE DROUGHT IN CALIFORNIA, AND I'LL KNOW HOW
SERIOUS IT IS IF THEY TELL BEVERLY HILLS THEY CAN'T WATER
THE LAWN.
WATER IS A PUBLIC RESOURCE.
IT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO
EVERYONE.
HOWEVER, IT IS NOW
BECOMING SUCH A RARITY IN CALIFORNIA THAT IT IS ONLY
AVAILABLE TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR IT, SO WE ARE
RATIONING WATER IN SOME MUNICIPALITIES, AND WE ARE
RESTRICTING PEOPLES WATER USAGE.
IN PLACES LIKE BEVERLY HILLS,
THEY MIGHT HAVE TO PAY A STEEP
FINE AS A RESULT OF KEEPING THEIR LAWNS GREEN, BUT THEY
DON'T CARE.
THEY ARE NOT GETTING FINES.
FINES ARE FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
THEY WILL EVENTUALLY GET FINED CENK.
I'M WAITING, MAYBE THEY WILL FIND BEVERLY HILLS MONDAY.
MAYBE I WILL SEE SOME GUY OUT THERE ON HIS LAWN, PAINTING IT
GREEN.
THAT WILL BE THE DAY.
