Bugs Lawn Care, located in Edmonton, Canada, is using green dye to replicate the look of a healthy lawn without water, CBC News reports. The company typically spends the summer mowing, but grass wasn’t growing after a lack of rain. Inspired by practices in drought-ridden California, the company began applying non-toxic, biodegradable and pet-friendly dye to color lawns green. The process takes about 30 minutes and lasts several months. The company told CBC News it has a waiting list of people wanting a dyed lawn.
