Experts at the Synthetic Turf Council have said that artificial grass is a green choice for golf courses, children's play areas, sports fields and gardens.
Experts at the Synthetic Turf Council have said that artificial grass is environmentally friendly, making it the perfect choice for gardeners, golfers and parents looking to swap green-fingered garden chores for green living.
According to the council, replacing natural grass sports fields, golf courses and children’s play areas in arid climates with artificial turf could help to cut down on the amount of water used to keep natural lawns well-watered and looking green.
In fact, experts have estimated that over three billion gallons of water could be saved by installing artificial grass in children’s play areas and sports fields in North America alone.
What’s more, the council has said that artificial turf doesn’t require pesticides or fertilizers to keep it looking lush and green, meaning nearby environs are less exposed to potentially harmful chemicals.
And as gardeners don’t need to mow artificial turf, caretakers can put away the lawn mower and miss out on tiresome garden up-keep while also saving energy and reducing carbon emissions from petrol-powered garden tools.
Further still, officials at the council pointed out that artificial grass has even more green benefits, as it is often made by recycling disused tyres and other potentially caustic waste products.
