Lawns are not very eco friendly as you know. They take lots of water and also fertilizers and mowing, contributing to both greenhouse gasses and wasting of valuable resources. We have no grass in our yard, partly because of these reasons but also because of the way our house sits on a steep lot. If I had a different yard I would probably have a small lawn - they're great for playing on, picnicking and letting dogs roll around. If you have a large lawn and you want to reduce it you can cut out the grass around the perimeter and have more planting beds for ornamental, veggies or both mixed in together. Doing this will not only save water but will also draw more birds and butterflies to your yard. Enjoy this beautiful day!
