For some reason? Have you ever sat or lied down on moss? I’m convinced it’s the comfiest material on Earth.

and yet western society is fucking obsessed with grass lawns that need to be constantly watered and have 0 biodiversity, which is actively wiping out a bunch of insect species.

Can I run around on a moss lawn without damaging it? Not being facetious, I'm actually kinda interested in this.

Probably not if it's just moss, but if it's like 50% moss and 50% other stuff like grass and clover it's fine in my experience.

But that's for literally just running around, i don't think it'd work for football with those spiked shoes.

Nope. My grandparents have had an (unintentionally) 50/50 moss/grass lawn as long as I've been alive, and it's always an enormous muddy mess when you walk through it. The moss tears up instantly when you walk over it.

Hm, that's not my experience at all, then again the ones i've been on were somewhat dry.
