Become a Hitman (Grass, Beware!)

Looking for a legal way to recoup some cash for killing? Well, you're in luck if you live in the American Southwest: Cash for Killing Your Lawn: Cities Get Creative with Water Saving.

Some cities are offering a cash incentive to replace water-sucking grass with more water-friendly landscapes. In Las Vegas, you can get up to $300,000 per year in rebates (plus the added bonus of a lower water bill and a lighter conscience)! In LA, you can get up to $2,000/year.

While your office park or HOA may not encourage land coverings other than green, green grass, consider petitioning them to update their standards to be more water saving, and also to give you opportunities to take advantage of municipal programs!
