Jessica Alba and Her Green Green Garden

While at the doctor's office, the Nate Berkus show was on, an interior designer made famous on the Oprah show. He was interviewing Jessica Alba on her eco-home lifestyle which included a discussion on her new eco-diaper line, which is why I tuned in being a lover all things baby and an employee of Impish, a small eco-baby store, in Northampton MA. Among other things, they also discussed her lawn which I thought was funny in the beginning but in the end was interesting. She uses ForeverLawn, which she explained is artificial grass she laid down so that her Hollywood home would not consume any more water than it needed to, especially leaving in a drought prone area such as California.

I have reblogged this from my tumblr, just thought it was a nice graphic.
