(NaturalNews) Americans love their lawns and grass is one of the most obvious signs that you’re in an American neighborhood. Of course, as Heather Havey points out in her Natural News article The Modern Lawn Contributes to Climate Change, lawns are a significant factor in our climate and pollution.
For many, however, tearing up or plowing our lawns and starting over just isn’t likely to happen. So we should consider our lawns themselves and how we can maximize their benefits and minimize or eliminate their pollution factor.
Consider the grass itself. A lawn is a large, living ecosystem of plants, bugs, microscopic organisms, and more. A truly healthy lawn can clean the air around it, add to the oxygen supply, and be beautiful. Our lawns are often one of our most steady sources of exercise and outdoor activities in today’s modern life too.
