May be you can sue them for an unethical immoral unsustainable life and for there failure to provide safe and secure shelter [requirement of the UN], due to the lifestyle they recommend they have knowingly created Global Warming see the United Nations report on global warming released this Friday
May be class action will be necessary.

i rent a house on a large corner lot which had a small garden in the
back and lots of grass most of which i have gradually turned into food
gardens by covering the grass with cardboard, paper and leaves - the
worms did the rest.

the other thing i've been doing is harvesting and eating the naturals
like dandelions and clover - had my first dandelion/kale salad yesterday
and will soon be gathering dandelion heads in the morning for fritters -
1cup chopped heads (careful not to get too much stem) to 1 cup flour -
sometimes sweet with apple or blueberries from last year or savory with
garlic/chives/kale etc.

the main problem has been complaints from a couple of neighbours about
the messy look and the "weeds" - i've been having discussions and
negotiations with the bylaw enforcement people somewhat successfully - i
do a little clean up and get to continue doing it my way.

what they consider to be weeds, i use as food, and since i'm on a very
modest pension, i need to grow my own food - besides, there are numerous
other critters that need the flowers and seeds that "weeds" produce.

and of course all the wonderful things they do in the ground and in the air.
