-Some 54 million people mow their lawns each week in the summer, using 800 million gallons of gas a year. More than 9 percent of urban air pollution comes from gas-powered lawn mowers.
-The gas emissions and yard, athletic field clippings are one of the largest landfill contributions to the greenhouse effect.
-Because these installations are no longer natural grass, synthetic turf will also keep un-calculable tons of fertilizers and pesticides away from our children, pets, eco-system and our drinking water.
-The use of synthetic turf has many applications for use. Some water restrictions have been mandatory in many parts of the country that water rates have risen over 80% in the Southwest as water resources are diminishing. Synthetic turf allows you to conserve water, save money, while creating a beautiful and safe alternative for our children and pets.
The U.S. Turf Company’s synthetic turf products are versatile, safe, economical and 100% Recyclable, including our backing, fibers, fall rated playground pad system, putting greens, synthetic lawns, and synthetic athletic fields which helps preserve our natural resources. But it’s the natural look and feel that makes that overwhelming first impression.
Despite the intense media and activist attention and focus by the Government, the public needs to be well informed and is largely unaware of the water problems. The Association of Water Agencies, a coalition of 1470 public water agencies has launched an effort to inform the American people that the Crisis Can Not Be Ignored.
