Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and fact-checker, comedian, and podcast host <a href="https://www.davidcsmalley.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David C. Smalley</a> break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions.
<h3 class="p1">On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Lawns are a symbol of American culture, but they have significant environmental drawbacks &mdash; including water wastage, pesticide use, and habitat destruction.</li>
<li>The origins of lawns can be traced back to British aristocracy, who sought to emulate Italian landscape paintings with vast, manicured lawns around their mansions.</li>
<li>Lawns in the United States became more widespread after World War II, with suburban developments like Levittown contributing to their popularity.</li>
<li>Noise pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases from lawn care equipment are on the rise in a landscaping industry that pulls in over $100 billion per year.</li>
<li>Transitioning to alternatives like xeriscaping, native gardens, or even painting brown lawns green can reduce the environmental harm caused by traditional grass lawns.</li>
