My fave quotes from this article:

"Enthusiasts are trying to shame their neighbors into joining them with pro-organic lawn signs, prompting some residents to apply their chemicals covertly." (this conjures up a great visual.)

"...a citizens' group is hanging tags on residents' doors urging them to lay off pesticides and posting "All Living Creatures Welcome" signs in their own yards."

"It's a point of pride for men," says Ms. Nawor, a high-school environmental-science teacher. "They like to be out there showing their grass off." (At least they're not showing off their grass minus the gr).

"Canada was the warning shot for us," he says. (scary)

Very interesting article, Randy. Thanks for posting!
