Ecological Responsibility

The illusion of an endless water supply has resulted in a high level of water over usage, endangering both the health of natural ecosystems and water availability. Sixty percent of water usage in large metropolitan areas, such as Phoenix and Los Angeles, goes towards landscaping. The growth of the synthetic turf industry has the potential to drastically decrease this figure, allowing for a more successful water conservation effort.

Natural Grass is Harmful

The harmful qualities of natural grass maintenance include the expulsion of methane and carbon dioxide gasses into the atmosphere, the introduction of toxic chemicals from pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides into oceans and rivers, and the depletion of our dwindling water supply. Natural grass requires harmful two-cycle engine maintenance which contributes to the release of further carbon dioxide into our environment. Grass clippings sent to landfills also contribute to the transportation of toxic chemicals into the water table.

Artificial Grass is the Solution

The nature of artificial grass maintenance is drastically more environmentally and economically friendly than the upkeep of a traditional lawn. The use of synthetic grass eliminates the need for harmful pesticides and fertilizers that contribute to ground water contamination. Further, artificial grass eliminates the need for the 800 million gallons of gas used to power lawn mowers throughout United States.

Commitment to Change

The commitment to slow and eliminate damage to our fragile eco system requires change in personal and workplace habits. Individual obligation to the environment varies widely. As a result, it is our cooperative ecological responsibility to remain conscious about our impact on the environment and to recognize our potential to reduce or eliminate any negative contributions.
