The results of continual marketing and use of harmful pesticides and herbicides on our lawns, playgrounds and golf courses are now showing up as very real health concerns for many Americans, especially children. It seems that a beautiful lawn and the status it brings is becoming more important than our long-term safety and health. Chemical companies continue their mantra that poisons are really safe and cause no harm to our environment or health. We now have enough evidence that this is not what evidence is showing. Enough is Enough. It’s time to take a look at the real truth and not from someone trying to sell you a “green lawn.” Try something different this year — first educate yourself about the organic lawn movement and organic gardening and then put into practice what you have learned. I think you will find that you can still have a beautiful lawn and productive garden without the hazards of chemicals. And when your neghbors ask — take the time to share and educate!
