Organic lawns thrive without synthetic chemicals and provide the peace-of-mind that we are creating a safe, healthy place for families to gather and play.
Our friends at the Northeast Organic Farming Association have put together the following six reasons to grow an organic lawn.
- Dogs whose owners use 2,4-D (common weed killer) on their lawns are twice as likely to die of cancer.
- Children living in homes where pesticides are used have higher rates of leukemia and brain cancer.
- Organic practices restore soil food webs so the organisms can provide nutrients to the plants.
- Commonly sold pesticides like glyphosate (in Round-up) are linked to Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, the 2nd fastest growing cancer in the United States.
- Synthetic lawn fertilizers and pesticides can run off lawns and harm streams, rivers, ponds, lakes and oceans.
- 100% of Americans tested have traces of pesticides in their body fluids and tissues.
