The Green Line by Sharon Mielke
A REALLY GREEN LAWN
It's lawn time!! US homeowners apply some 78 million pounds of insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides to their lawns annually. The Audubon Society estimates that 7 million birds die each year because of exposure to lawn pesticides. Children and pets who play on the lawns and ingest these products are even more vulnerable. A new organization called Green Carpet Dallas (info@greencarpetdallas.org) is working to help us with non-chemical lawn and tree care. Check it out!
