    I just installed one of these for my g/f in her back yard catio and I think it’s great. I play 7 a side on it twice a week.

    Why would people want such a useful material ‘banned’? If you don’t like it, then don’t install it. If it doesn’t work out great in your space, then you can always remove it.

    In terms of waste, you can say that about literally everything we consume.

      For the same reason we are trying to phase out fossil fuels as an energy source - environmental degradation harms everyone. It’s not a matter of personal taste, it’s about protecting the planet we need to live on.

      Because it’s fucking up the planet and if you haven’t noticed, the planet has been taking quite the beating these past 3 weeks.

      Real grass is not consumed and thinking about everything in terms of human consumption is the problem. Change your mindset.

        I’m not sure what you mean by that, but in many cases people are laying it over what otherwise would be concrete, or gravel places that are not suited to a lawn.

      Because it’s not actually useful, it’s just poison.

      Yeah, and we need to stop. It’s literally going to drive us to extinction, along with countless other species. This kind of apathy is disgusting.

        It can be useful. It’s a great surface for doing any form of outdoor exercise on.

            Claiming it’s “not actually useful” though is just wrong.

              If a thing does more harm than good, it isn’t useful, the people using it are just selfish.

                That’s an interesting new definition of ‘useful’ you have.

                  It’s certainly more sound than yours, which apparently requires nothing more than “it feels kinds of nice to step on” while it poisons the ground and eliminates yet more of your local ecosystem.
