As many of us look for ways to live greener lives, it’s encouraging to know that artificial grass is green in more ways than one. And let’s face it – one of the primary reasons you want a lawn is because it adds so much foundational beauty to your yard. You want your home to look beautiful and inviting. But more than anything else, you want it to provide a safe environment for your family and pets. Artificial grass is non-toxic and non-allergenic, so it’s perfectly safe for everyone to play on – humans and pets alike. Scientists have studied artificial turf for more than four decades. In that entire time, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission reports “there has never been an instance of human illness or environmental damage caused by synthetic turf.”
Does artificial grass really help our environment? Indeed, it does.
No harmful ingredients
Artificial grass starts out in perfect health and remains that way for years, without so much as a single chemical additive. With artificial grass, there are no toxic lawn care chemicals to leach into our soil and water. Artificial turf provided by Artificial Turf Factory Outlet is made from non-toxic materials. They are 100% allergen-free as well. Everyone (including pets) can enjoy the grass “up close and personal” without endangering their health. Natural grass demands an array of potentially poisonous chemicals to help it grow and to fend off pests and disease. Studies have shown that as much as 60% of chemicals applied to lawns run off into the environment. There, they can pose deadly dangers to fish, wildlife, plants, and even our drinking water supply.
No harmful outputs
Replacing natural grass with artificial virtually eliminates lawn-related noxious emissions. You’re no longer spewing tons of CO2 and other pollutants into the air. That’s a big deal. Just a single hour of mowing produces greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to a 100-mile drive in the average car. (Those chemicals you spray onto real grass get into the air, too, as well as the groundwater.)
Water conservation
We all know that artificial grass can save thousands of gallons of water each year, because it never needs watering. Installing artificial grass at your home or workplace can save 56,000 gallons of water per year. From the first day of your install and every day thereafter, you’ll be conserving water and be able to enjoy a beautiful green lawn! Yes, we said it, less water and it’s still green.
