An article exploring the environmental impacts of traditional lawns versus synthetic turf.

Environmental Impact of Lawns

• Scale: Lawns cover over 40 million acres (up to 2%) of the continental US, making it the nation's largest irrigated "crop" (according to Anarchimedia).
• Resource Cost: Traditional lawns consume thousands of gallons of water and tens of thousands of pounds of pesticides and herbicides annually, contaminating water systems and threatening biodiversity.

Sustainable Alternatives

• Native Plants & Gardens: Native landscaping or edible gardens can produce food while using less water than lawns.
• Synthetic Turf: Replacing lawns with artificial grass or surrounding vegetable gardens with turf dramatically reduces water consumption and eliminates hazardous chemical use.
