Believe it or not, it is easy being green. Reducing your shower time by just one minute can save 365 gallons of water a year. Not hosing down your patio or driveway can save 960. And filling your bath tub up halfway can save 3,650. Just imagine how much water installing a FieldTurf artificial grass or synthetic turf system can save.
Actually, you don’t have to imagine. Installing a FieldTurf artificial grass system for home landscaping alone can save a whopping 56,000 gallons of water per year.
When it comes to carbon footprints, there’s simply no comparison between natural grass and FieldTurf artificial grass and synthetic turf systems. FieldTurf is 100% lead free and 100% recyclable. FieldTurf is a proud member of the U.S. Green Building Council and the Environmental Protection Agency’s ‘Greenscapes’ program in addition to continuously setting new environmental standards throughout the synthetic turf industry.
By choosing FieldTurf artificial turf, you’re becoming part of an environmental movement that not only saves clean drinking water, but also:
- Eliminates impact on water resources
- Eliminates the use of billions of pounds of harmful pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides and herbicides, used on natural grass, that can run off into ground water
- Significantly lowers the use of natural gas and other fossil fuels needed to produce lawn care chemicals
- Eliminates fuel-powered mowing, aerating, and re-seeding . Gas-powered lawn mowers alone can cause as much pollution in one hour as 10 cars. FieldTurf systems save millions of gallons of gas a year.
- Eliminates grass clippings that are among the biggest landfill contributors to the greenhouse effect. During the summer months, clippings alone can account for nearly half of a community’s waste.
- Drastically lowers the use of paper and plastic products that support maintenance
- Removes millions of tires from landfill sites each year
- Is less likely to provoke asthma or allergy attacks
- Is not a breeding ground for the MRSA (staph) bacteria
