I'm serious, what is it with ICE drivers against EVs? Makes no sense. EVs are almost 90% efficient compared to internal combustion engines (ICE) which are about 30% efficient. Making the electricity and transporting to EVs need to be considered but refining oil and transporting gas on trucks isn't more efficient in any ways. Yes, manufacturing requires an EV to be driven 3 years at 12,000 miles to catch up to the carbon footprint compared to making an ICE vehicle but after that, it is all a gain. I'm not going climate dude on this isn't the point and is debatable but ,just saying EVs are more efficient so what is the big deal with them?

Everywhere I go in California they hand you a plastic straw. Got a chocolate shake at Don Mackles today and they gave me a plastic straw. I thought they were banned in California?
Artificial turf is horrible for those of you who have never had to remove it. It leaves tons of micro plastics all over the ground and make their way to the drain. Plus you can’t really wash it if you have dogs or pets, you will never get the smell out.
I ride my bike near a solar farm and when I go by it, the temp jumps at least 20 degrees from reflecting the sun. I’m sure the heat caused by them is not helping “climate change”
Your body is certainly your own choice, but if your artificial lawn is dripping cancer into my cup of tea, that may be a concern for more people than just yourself. Also, Gav’y said, “not my choice, it’s the cities”.. so you’re kind of poking the wrong bear.
Gavin Newsome is the Governor or CA, not the mayor of Los Angeles. Maybe you should focus on your own state problems "AZ"joe. Like the fact you now have heatwaves so bad, they melt shoes and blister feet.
When they started removing green areas and trees from shopping area parking lots, I thought what a horrible idea. It only heats up the area. Our cities are hotter because of this.
I remember in the late 60's early 70's they let the grass around all the County buildings and office's around Los Angeles go dead/brown instead of using all that water. Instead they sprayed them with a green dye that looked pretty good and seemed to last most of the summer. The fall rains would renew the grass and the whole cycle would start again next summer. It seemed to save them a lot of water and mowing during the summer.
Wait. So something the government said was good & effective turns out to not only be pointless but also have negative unintended consequences? Whaaaaat????!!! Reminds me of the recycling “solution,” which has also turned out to be pointless, wasteful, and polluting.
To be clear for those who don't live here, this was not encouraged by the city. The city paid people to remove lawn due to extreme drought, but "they" encouraged xiroscaping with native and drought tolerant plants, not plastic.
Smothering soil,insects and natural drainage with a blend of rubber&plastic, not so great ever! People did this as a lazy fix not because they gave a darn about what's good for the environment.
While I think homeowners should be free to do whatever they want in their home and there are more pressing issues to deal with, this is a step in the right direction. We don’t want those chemicals leaching out into our waterways.
And after everyone buys EVs they will say the amount of pollutants to produce electricity exceeds expectation. So we will restrict your electricity usage. Watch!
I live in southern California and have seen hundreds of yards convert from natural grass to "California native" landscaping. Without exception, each of these yards looks like crap. It is possible to have a low-water landscape, but you need a very good landscape architect who really knows plants. But instead, people just hire day-laborers/gardeners to install the landscape. Succulents look nice for a year. But after 3 years, they look horrible and can't really be pruned to look good. Luckily, a few years ago, I knew the drought would end so I kept all my natural grass and other plants. My yard looks primo. And we have so much water, I take bubble baths every night!
Native plants are a lot of work. All of those fly-by-night "landscape" companies that popped up to take advantage of the turf rebate money put in miles of crushed stone and the minimum number of native plants. Now these yards are just a mass of weeds in gravel and three huge overgrown native plants. Ugh.
I'm so glad that LA is focusing on the most important issues the city faces. I can sleep better at night knowing that there will now be a ban on fake grass.
lol what the heck? I’m old enough to remember when plastic bags were the solution to saving trees. Last year I saw a commercial proclaiming paper bags as a solution to the plastic bag problem.
So artificial turf that needs no water uses as much water as natural grass that you have to water everyday? Don't you have to add fertilizer to natural grass? What about the pollution from the lawn motors that cut natural grass. The policy makes no sense.
Priorities are not in order. You get no respect when you allow crime to destroy people’s livelihood and then you make laws about banning artificial turfs. People will only lose faith in the system and the government. These are changing times and politicians are seen as the dumbest there has ever been.
Its about time. Sanity at last. Plastic grass?! PFAS?! Artificial grass always creeped me out. Real grass or plants improve air quality. Water and air are important. Wood chips and landscaping. There are super drought resistant strains of grass. Even patios of stone or cement mixed with wood chips and landscaping or drought resistant grass.
Maybe they can just ban the sale of anything with "forever chemicals" instead? I remember over a decade ago there was a huge push to put solar on peoples homes, rebates through electric companies, federal tax breaks, local breaks.... now "Oh no solar is too hard for us to work the electric grid, so now you have to pay more money by going to a time of use system which of course will have it's peak time frame when your solar doesn't do anything"
Motel I'm at just dug up all their nice healthy grass and put in artificial turf. It will save them weekly landscaping costs as well as maybe water costs but it's early days (they literally did it just a couple weeks ago) and it is already getting brown patches from dogs and other use and has to be watered to clean it I think. It looked nice for a minute. It's softer than old fashioned astroturf. How did they not know about the "forever chemicals" before the government approved the product to be put on the ground?
LOL Los Angeles has way too many politicians, shrink government. Ignore the census or just tell them one person lives there. Don’t donate to anything try and make all your purchases in Orange County or Ventura County or at least the more expensive items
Why do they need to add more laws? Why can’t they just issue advisories based on the latest research. So much energy on non-sense bans that require more resources to enforce
So they can stop the sellers from selling in the area, and reduce the amount of money we have to pay to treat the water at the treatment plants so we can reuse it.
@@Rz-tt9zuthey increase the heat anywhere they put them- I love solar panels, but one side effect is the heat the produce. Go ahead and put your face in front of one at 1pm - That heat is changing the environment in the area of these huge solar farms
I am an old lady, and I know this is going to sound sexist. But here it is: How are we supposed to listen to and make sense of these reporters’ squawky, rapid-fire, high-pitched, gibberish voices? They just hurt my ears to listen to. I am so tired of these ‘35-something’ cute things in tight dresses, shrieking out the ‘news’. It is everywhere! Could we PLEASE have more maturity and gravitas?
We have artificial turf in front of our business. It was there when we moved in. The biggest problem is people letting their dogs take giant poops right by our front door, on the fake turf, which is then almost impossible to clean. I gave up on expecting the city to help since there’s equal amounts of poop on the sidewalks too. I’ve never heard of anyone ever being caught or fined for it so it’s basically a free-for-all and small businesses are the ones cleaning it up.
This is precisely why I don’t live my life around what these empty suits say. One minute it’s you should do this and the next minute okay now that’s banned so do something else. Too much overreach. Just like with hybrids. You should get hybrids, then everyone does it, and what does California do? Okay now we need to tax you per mile since people are buying less gasoline. After they told us to find a way to buy less gas by buying into hybrids. Now it’s we’re going to ban new gas car sales so buy an EV. Get ready for another ban.
Exactly- and the fools living there eat it up. The people like it. The people are so stupid they need the government to tell them how to live. The government knows this - and like you said- are banning the sale of ice cars- yet some people have no way of charging them- Example- older apartment buildings in LA- the current electrical system in those old buildings are not designed for 30 cars to be charged every night. Yet the people will still do as they are told and then be f’ed once they realize it’s 4 hours to charge the batteries. And California plans to raise the cost of electricity so high that the average family can’t even charge their car-
To be fair, they are trying to control the unintended results of technological change, and it's not easy. How do you pay for infrastructure for water and sewer when people are using much less of it and your revenues go way down? How do you reduce carbon but not destroy the jobs created by the auto industry? Every time I think about these issues I thank my lucky stars that all I have to do is work hard and keep my nose clean. I'd hate to be a politician.
@@willieverusethis what? People using less water and sewer? lol That’s not true. They liberals, don’t care about the jobs of the energy sector- they have proven that decades ago
I thought today’s synthetic turf was created to make better use of limited land for sports fields, safer playing surfaces for players ( if installed on a proper base), and the ability to be used virtually around the clock (if used with athletic lighting), in almost all weather conditions, without needing replacement for 10+ years. Synthetic turf does use less water than a natural grass field, even if you have to wet it down for temperature, and it does not require the use of pesticides like natural grass. However, was today’s synthetic turf ever really intended or studied for wide spread residential use? Recycling facilities for synthetic turf are limited and it is resulting in more plastics in our environment. Is a ban the only answer, or do we need additional research for ways to make synthetic turf more environmentally friendly and recyclable, especially for residential use?
Good questions. Since we will have to recycle water more and more, we have to be more cautious about what's in our runoff. California was just cut off from a bunch of Colorado River water, so it's going to be tough in the next drought.
Homeless people have been complaining that when they trespass on peoples property to shoot up and pass out, the artificial turf isn’t nearly as soft as natural grass so the city had to step in.
Plus, artificial turf is actually mainly made of plastic. As such, it's a source of microplastics which can enter the water courses and eventually, lakes and the sea. It's also almost impossible to recycle, eventually ending up in landfills.
what theyre not telling you is that the same harmful chemicals are present in pretty much everything else you consume from food packaging, makeups, cookware etc.
Never understood how artificial turf is considered good, or any supplementary made out of plastics. Wanna save on water then don't plant anything or plant things that can withstand droughts.
Want to save on water? Yet the city encourages new illegal residents to move there- how many new illegals in the last 4 years? You think they are conserving water??
The state of California has a state agency which works on recycling tires. This looks like a good project for them to develop a grass replacement using old tires. !
Here in Hemet (East of LA) it gets so hot the stuff melts. Same thing for those recycled plastic fence boards. They curl and deform with heat above 100, which is a relatively cool day in summer here. PS: today July 10, 11:20 AM now 100F, forecast to be 105F

Solar panels do. The light reflects off the roof, back to the sky, and people on airplanes are exposed. Take them off for the love of humanity.
I ride my bike near a solar farm and when I go by it, the temp jumps at least 20 degrees from reflecting the sun. I’m sure the heat caused by them is not helping “climate change”
My lawn, my body, my choice. Right Gavy?
Gavin's scalp gel has altered the function of his neurons and synapses.
Nope! Not when it ends up in our waterways.
Your body is certainly your own choice, but if your artificial lawn is dripping cancer into my cup of tea, that may be a concern for more people than just yourself.
Also, Gav’y said, “not my choice, it’s the cities”.. so you’re kind of poking the wrong bear.
Gavin Newsome is the Governor or CA, not the mayor of Los Angeles. Maybe you should focus on your own state problems "AZ"joe. Like the fact you now have heatwaves so bad, they melt shoes and blister feet.
@@gamera2020news flash - that’s was happening 200 years ago in Arizona-
Tool
When they started removing green areas and trees from shopping area parking lots, I thought what a horrible idea. It only heats up the area. Our cities are hotter because of this.
California needs more trees 🌳,a lot of them and native plants
I remember in the late 60's early 70's they let the grass around all the County buildings and office's around Los Angeles go dead/brown instead of using all that water. Instead they sprayed them with a green dye that looked pretty good and seemed to last most of the summer. The fall rains would renew the grass and the whole cycle would start again next summer. It seemed to save them a lot of water and mowing during the summer.
If we ban "OFFICIALS", it will be good for the environment, as well as our health and sanity!
🤪😜🤣
Wait. So something the government said was good & effective turns out to not only be pointless but also have negative unintended consequences? Whaaaaat????!!!
Reminds me of the recycling “solution,” which has also turned out to be pointless, wasteful, and polluting.
As a professional landscaper.. I won’t install it. Anybody that will come you you and cover the earth in plastic in 2024 is way off base.
To be clear for those who don't live here, this was not encouraged by the city. The city paid people to remove lawn due to extreme drought, but "they" encouraged xiroscaping with native and drought tolerant plants, not plastic.
Did the discourage the 3 million new residents that don’t give a f about conserving water?
How about focusing on crime more?
I think its tacky anyway
It was tacky but oh so virtuous........ now not so much
Smothering soil,insects and natural drainage with a blend of rubber&plastic, not so great ever! People did this as a lazy fix not because they gave a darn about what's good for the environment.
While I think homeowners should be free to do whatever they want in their home and there are more pressing issues to deal with, this is a step in the right direction. We don’t want those chemicals leaching out into our waterways.
Especially if we are going to have to recycle it and drink it.
And after everyone buys EVs they will say the amount of pollutants to produce electricity exceeds expectation. So we will restrict your electricity usage. Watch!
Who would have thought pulling up grass and replacing it with plastic was a bad idea?
Ban politicians
I love that people were still watering the turf! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
NGL always thought artificial grass looks ugly n tacky .
I live in southern California and have seen hundreds of yards convert from natural grass to "California native" landscaping. Without exception, each of these yards looks like crap. It is possible to have a low-water landscape, but you need a very good landscape architect who really knows plants. But instead, people just hire day-laborers/gardeners to install the landscape. Succulents look nice for a year. But after 3 years, they look horrible and can't really be pruned to look good. Luckily, a few years ago, I knew the drought would end so I kept all my natural grass and other plants. My yard looks primo. And we have so much water, I take bubble baths every night!
Native plants are a lot of work. All of those fly-by-night "landscape" companies that popped up to take advantage of the turf rebate money put in miles of crushed stone and the minimum number of native plants. Now these yards are just a mass of weeds in gravel and three huge overgrown native plants. Ugh.
They won’t let you water your grass and now won’t let you have turf.
I'm so glad that LA is focusing on the most important issues the city faces. I can sleep better at night knowing that there will now be a ban on fake grass.
You can’t make this stuff up. 😂 What a joke our state is. 🤦♂️
Those forever chemicals in turf do cause cancer
I keep at least one state between me and California at all times....I hear crazee can jump a long way
Leave it to liberals

Has?
That happened at least 45 years ago
@@DaveEPie It's called the English language. Look into it.

California is a special kind of special!
Omg😂😂😂 they should ban the governor
I swear to God, there is not a politician in California with common sense. Doesn’t look like there’s enough voters with it either.
What will they tell the NFL? LMAO
They did their calculations on the amount of water conserved and decided it was opposed to their agenda.
They probably lost water tax 💀
@@Isaac-ev3nq 100% = they are not on our side.
Banning illegal border crossings would be better as well
lol what the heck?
I’m old enough to remember when plastic bags were the solution to saving trees.
Last year I saw a commercial proclaiming paper bags as a solution to the plastic bag problem.
Cloth bags solve both problems.
The gov't is out of control, from the top to your local appointed bureaucrat.
So artificial turf that needs no water uses as much water as natural grass that you have to water everyday? Don't you have to add fertilizer to natural grass? What about the pollution from the lawn motors that cut natural grass. The policy makes no sense.
*next, they gonna say replace your lawn with rocks and then they are going to ban rocks on your lawn citing environmental damage.* 😂
Priorities are not in order. You get no respect when you allow crime to destroy people’s livelihood and then you make laws about banning artificial turfs. People will only lose faith in the system and the government. These are changing times and politicians are seen as the dumbest there has ever been.
Nobody’s business how I keep my yard. This is still America, isn’t it?
nope 😢
Anyone still left in Cali is someone that wants the government to tell them what to do-
It’s that simple.
Its about time. Sanity at last. Plastic grass?! PFAS?! Artificial grass always creeped me out. Real grass or plants improve air quality. Water and air are important. Wood chips and landscaping. There are super drought resistant strains of grass. Even patios of stone or cement mixed with wood chips and landscaping or drought resistant grass.
Maybe they can just ban the sale of anything with "forever chemicals" instead? I remember over a decade ago there was a huge push to put solar on peoples homes, rebates through electric companies, federal tax breaks, local breaks.... now "Oh no solar is too hard for us to work the electric grid, so now you have to pay more money by going to a time of use system which of course will have it's peak time frame when your solar doesn't do anything"
Motel I'm at just dug up all their nice healthy grass and put in artificial turf. It will save them weekly landscaping costs as well as maybe water costs but it's early days (they literally did it just a couple weeks ago) and it is already getting brown patches from dogs and other use and has to be watered to clean it I think. It looked nice for a minute. It's softer than old fashioned astroturf. How did they not know about the "forever chemicals" before the government approved the product to be put on the ground?
California is most definitely a special place. Like short bus special. What an embarrassment to the republic.
Cheaper way would be LA to make the homelessness artificial turf?
LOL Los Angeles has way too many politicians, shrink government. Ignore the census or just tell them one person lives there. Don’t donate to anything try and make all your purchases in Orange County or Ventura County or at least the more expensive items
Why do they need to add more laws? Why can’t they just issue advisories based on the latest research. So much energy on non-sense bans that require more resources to enforce
So they can stop the sellers from selling in the area, and reduce the amount of money we have to pay to treat the water at the treatment plants so we can reuse it.
How about a ban on Newsom
Can we ban electric cars and solar panels
What’s wrong with solar panels?
@@Rz-tt9zuthey increase the heat anywhere they put them- I love solar panels, but one side effect is the heat the produce.
Go ahead and put your face in front of one at 1pm -
That heat is changing the environment in the area of these huge solar farms
@@DaveEPie I did not know that, great info
They’ll be working on that next, since they will be losing gas tax and electricity tax otherwise
I am an old lady, and I know this is going to sound sexist. But here it is: How are we supposed to listen to and make sense of these reporters’ squawky, rapid-fire, high-pitched, gibberish voices? They just hurt my ears to listen to. I am so tired of these ‘35-something’ cute things in tight dresses, shrieking out the ‘news’. It is everywhere! Could we PLEASE have more maturity and gravitas?
Commiefornia for ya
My neighbor had to remove and replace their plastic lawn twice because his gardening crew actually mowed it. Yukyuk
Just another Democrat contrived bull$hit problem…
How about ban foods known for additives causing same first
The answer is DONALD J TRUMP 2024
The Banning fools should themselves be banned
We have artificial turf in front of our business. It was there when we moved in. The biggest problem is people letting their dogs take giant poops right by our front door, on the fake turf, which is then almost impossible to clean. I gave up on expecting the city to help since there’s equal amounts of poop on the sidewalks too. I’ve never heard of anyone ever being caught or fined for it so it’s basically a free-for-all and small businesses are the ones cleaning it up.
Put in security cameras, name and shame.
Yeah and then when you have to raise prices to either replace the turf or have ti cleaned...you're accused of "greed"
Governor Newsom will ban anything 😂🤡
This is precisely why I don’t live my life around what these empty suits say. One minute it’s you should do this and the next minute okay now that’s banned so do something else. Too much overreach. Just like with hybrids. You should get hybrids, then everyone does it, and what does California do? Okay now we need to tax you per mile since people are buying less gasoline. After they told us to find a way to buy less gas by buying into hybrids. Now it’s we’re going to ban new gas car sales so buy an EV. Get ready for another ban.
Exactly- and the fools living there eat it up.
The people like it. The people are so stupid they need the government to tell them how to live. The government knows this - and like you said- are banning the sale of ice cars- yet some people have no way of charging them-
Example- older apartment buildings in LA- the current electrical system in those old buildings are not designed for 30 cars to be charged every night.
Yet the people will still do as they are told and then be f’ed once they realize it’s 4 hours to charge the batteries.
And California plans to raise the cost of electricity so high that the average family can’t even charge their car-
To be fair, they are trying to control the unintended results of technological change, and it's not easy. How do you pay for infrastructure for water and sewer when people are using much less of it and your revenues go way down? How do you reduce carbon but not destroy the jobs created by the auto industry? Every time I think about these issues I thank my lucky stars that all I have to do is work hard and keep my nose clean. I'd hate to be a politician.
@@willieverusethis what?
People using less water and sewer? lol
That’s not true.
They liberals, don’t care about the jobs of the energy sector- they have proven that decades ago
I thought today’s synthetic turf was created to make better use of limited land for sports fields, safer playing surfaces for players ( if installed on a proper base), and the ability to be used virtually around the clock (if used with athletic lighting), in almost all weather conditions, without needing replacement for 10+ years. Synthetic turf does use less water than a natural grass field, even if you have to wet it down for temperature, and it does not require the use of pesticides like natural grass. However, was today’s synthetic turf ever really intended or studied for wide spread residential use? Recycling facilities for synthetic turf are limited and it is resulting in more plastics in our environment. Is a ban the only answer, or do we need additional research for ways to make synthetic turf more environmentally friendly and recyclable, especially for residential use?
Good questions. Since we will have to recycle water more and more, we have to be more cautious about what's in our runoff. California was just cut off from a bunch of Colorado River water, so it's going to be tough in the next drought.
Artificial turf lawn purchases is still tax deductible in CA.
Homeless people have been complaining that when they trespass on peoples property to shoot up and pass out, the artificial turf isn’t nearly as soft as natural grass so the city had to step in.
I mean people like the look of grass and that's never going to change, If you want them to conserve water, you'll let them get artificial turf
Plus, artificial turf is actually mainly made of plastic. As such, it's a source of microplastics which can enter the water courses and eventually, lakes and the sea. It's also almost impossible to recycle, eventually ending up in landfills.
All i want is to get rid of the bums invasion and for more people to leave traffic is horrible
what theyre not telling you is that the same harmful chemicals are present in pretty much everything else you consume from food packaging, makeups, cookware etc.
californian's keep voting for this
Never understood how artificial turf is considered good, or any supplementary made out of plastics. Wanna save on water then don't plant anything or plant things that can withstand droughts.
Want to save on water? Yet the city encourages new illegal residents to move there- how many new illegals in the last 4 years?
You think they are conserving water??
The state of California has a state agency which works on recycling tires. This looks like a good project for them to develop a grass replacement using old tires.
!
Proving how hypocritical climate change is
Grass in general is just dumb and wasteful. Just plant native plants 🤷🏽♂️
Here in Hemet (East of LA) it gets so hot the stuff melts. Same thing for those recycled plastic fence boards. They curl and deform with heat above 100, which is a relatively cool day in summer here. PS: today July 10, 11:20 AM now 100F, forecast to be 105F
The same turf they use on High School football fields.
Got It!
Artificial turf is the least of your worries , youre about to understand what real civil unrest looks like 😂
