    Unfortunately the grass screaming about the lawnmower is useless at stoping the humans and pointless at informing the trees.

      The kind of grass that gets mowed has a symbiotic relationship with humanity.

      Oh yeah, the movie where nothing actually happened and they gave away the twist ending halfway through the movie.

          That sounds like a good idea, although starving seems a little inconvenient for me. But since being eaten is also inconvenient for the plants, I’ll give it a try!
