Ways to get Active in Greening your Lawn…..and Others Around you
You can help improve your lawns, your families and others exposure to lawn chemicals by raising awareness in your town about how dangerous lawn care and how much better the use of organic turf is. Here is a rough draft of how you can start change within your own community, as well as try to change your very own town into become a more conscious lawn care community.
• Get your neighbors involved: The quickest and easiest ways to get them involved with the change is to educate them. Post pesticide-free lawn signs in your very own yard. Then talk to them about how important the change is for not only the environment but for their own health as well.
• Create a demand for it: Request that the local nursery in your own town and the surrounding towns carry organic fertilizer and even organic and quality organic lawn products. There are several products right in your own pantry that can be used for your own lawn care.
• Be the example of your own talks: Growing your own organic grass in an organic way, is to lead by example. When you are questioned as to how you are growing your beautiful grass, tell your questioner what you are using and how your change to organic lawn care and fertilizer is helping your grass and you earth.
• Get active in a political way: Writing to local officials in regards to the concern about lawn-chemical use in the community will spawn change. Urge them to consider the change in making it harder to use chemical pesticides and passing local pesticide ordinance that are stricter than state policies.
*Natural and Sustainable Living Tip: Gather up your old mobile phones and give them to Eco-Cell. They will in turn refurbish or recycle your the phones instead of sending them to the landfill. And we all know there is already plenty already there.
