On a more micro level a postive trend I have noticed, and I hope more people pick up on, is to remove some or all of their grass and plant things instead. Grass is a mono-culture that doesn't really do much for anything, especially the 1950s style perfect lawn, superior to hard surfaces sure but that's about it.

Some examples from Cobourg. All of these front yards could support a vast array of different things.











Obviously that all requires maintenance but so does grass.
