Scottsdale Implements Ban on Natural Grass in New Homes Starting August 15

The City Council of Scottsdale, Arizona, has unanimously approved an ordinance banning new single-family homes from having real grass in their front yards, effective from August 15. The move is aimed at promoting sustainable water management and setting an example for other communities in the region. This decision follows a previous ordinance in 2022 that prohibited homeowners associations from requiring grass lawns, resulting in significant water savings. Scottsdale businesses and residents have saved approximately 657 million gallons of water since then.

Scientists Reduce Carbon Footprints in Research

Researchers from various fields are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint and address the sources of their emissions. Solutions include using archived data instead of collecting new information, implementing telemedicine strategies, and reducing emissions from clinical trials. Institutional support is necessary to achieve the net-zero emissions goal for 2050 set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Institutions should start studying how they can reduce their carbon footprint instead of just measuring it, and ask scientists for emissions-reduction strategies as a condition of grants or jobs.
