Is Your Lawn Safe?
The American shruburbs. A safe place to raise your kids, right? Maybe, but here’s another “dark side of the American dream” story, with an easy solution:

More than 70 million pounds of pesticides are sprayed onto America’s 30 million acres of lawns each year by companies like ChemLawn, who’ve made the perfect lawn an icon more imporant than the white picket fence.

Been saying this for years… But most folks don’t think. I mean that’s what the adds tell us to do right? –
Got weeds? Spray.
Got bugs? Spray.

Don’t think about (man behind the curtain) the environmental effects somewhere off down the road. Or in your offspring.

As long as the critters/weeds are gone NOW that’s all all you should care about.

Bullshit! Weeds and most bugs are good for something somewhere. Natural controls are available in most cases and less toxic means exist where natural isn’t available. Besides we need all the green we can get to counteract deforestation erosion and global warming.

Act locally, think globally…
