California’s green living delusion collapses as residents start spray painting their lawns green

Saturday 16th May 2015
.............. LawnLift... is now a leading provider of lawn paint for homeowners, hoteliers, wedding planners and others who want to change the look of their drought-stricken grass.

Just what we need: More chemicals in the shrinking water supply
With lawns now being spray painted green, California cements its newfound role as the capital of delusional green living where the "green" comes from spray paint laced with chemical pigments.

If it ever does rain again in California, all that fake green will be washed right down the drain, further contaminating the dwindling water supply with yet more chemicals... on top of all the chemotherapy drugs, antidepressants, painkillers and cocaine already found in California's water supply thanks to the mass over-medication of the population.

The LawnLift company, by the way, says its green paint product is entirely non-toxic. But I can't find any ingredients listed anywhere on its website.

The company's FAQ document, which is riddled with hilarious typos, says things like:

Lawnlift uses expensive UV protected nontoxic binders to insure [sic] the products stays green and last longer.

The Completion: [sic] Never actually binds to the grass, runs off with water application and rubs off on everything.

LawnLift says, "LawnLift is not harmful to pets that have ingested grass treated with it," but its own MSDS says its product "May cause respiratory tract, eye and skin irritation."

TESTIMONIES (http://www.lawnlift.com/testimonial.asp?cc=)
"My lawn went to heck after my wife fell ill and I felt terrible about the way it looked to my nighbors. I purchased the product and sprayed it green myself; it looks great and how easy! Wife is fine now and so is the lawn."

"I overfertilized my backyard's grassy areas and it developed numerous yellow patches that ruined its appearance. I was planning a BBQ party so it was a minor disaster. I stumbled onto "lawn paint" as a possible solution while researching on the internet but could not find any stores that carried it..a Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace. Fortunately I found a Lawnlift source was located in my county and they had small quantities of the product on site for retail. I jumped in the car and headed over. The gentleman I dealt with was great and explained how to apply the product and its qualities. A short trip to Home Depot to pick up a sprayer, and I was in business. I was AMAZED at how well this product worked. The color blends perfectly with the healthy grass and my lawn looks better than ever. It gets a short daily sprinkling which hasn't affected the results at all. My front yard was very uneven looking due to dog pee spots, patchy sun exposure, whatever...so I headed there with my Lawnlift sprayer and voila ! another transformed lawn. I've seen some negative comments about lawn paint on internet blogs and I can't imagine why people are so resistant. It is basically organic food coloring...think green beer, dyed easter eggs, red devils food cake...but unlike older grass paint products, the color has been perfected and you cannot tell it has been applied. It will definitely save on water as there is now no need to use so much just to keep the lawn green in the dry Southern California summer. This stuff is GREAT. "

When you've paid $750,000 for your starter crapshack and $7,500 a year property taxes...you want the lawn to look nice whether you have to spray toxic chemicals or not. Going green means, someone else pays.

Yeah, I'd thought the lawn was anti-green to begin with? Green would be letting it retreat to its natural dry desert landscape.

I don't care for grass. My yard is the forest floor. Dirt, sticks and pine needles.

80% of the water comsumption in commiefornia is for argriculture 20% is residential

No restrictions have been placed on business.
All the cutbacks are on the residential side.

Logic alone will tell you even if you got 100 % complience on the residential side you will live in a desert because the lionshare has not had to alter anything.

Just further proof this whole drama is 100% completely man made and nothing but a shake down for revenue and repress freedoms further.

They have been painting "lawns" green in Arizona for millennia.

I think Moonbeam said he want's a 25% cut in water usage. He doesn't think agriculture needs cuts, just residents.

So thats 20% - 25% = ....??

I'd be happy with some fake green grass carpet in front of my camper, and perhaps a pink flamingo.

Get two , flamingo's are social birds that like to flock together!

One would get lonely probably and then suffer and become depressed ! You would not want PETA after your ass for cruelty to animals !

The colored shot is pre-drought while the black and white represents areas dried up.

I would curse perfidious California, but it seems cursed enough already; there is no reason to be excessive.

See! Californians doesn't actually need water! A lot can be saved on having fake water levels painted on empty bottles. Dried creeks could be painted too. Problem solved!
