Many Australians talk about their need to reduce their carbon footprint and yet many people talk the talk but they certainly don’t walk the walk. You are to be commended if you really do want to help the environment and so you need to do whatever you can to help Mother Earth every single day. If you have a conventional grass lawn then you must know the amount of time and effort you put into trying to keep it in top shape all year round and that includes spraying an incredible amount of water on it. This is not conducive to your environmental talk and so maybe you need to look at a better alternative that is much kinder to the environment.
I am of course referring to artificial grass and it is a choice that many Australians are making all across the country right now. If you have grown up with a real grass front and back garden and this is a difficult decision for you to make then think about all of the grass cutting that you won’t have to do, think about the weeding that doesn’t have to take place and think about the time saved every single week because you’re not out there in your garden working hard after working hard all day in the office. Artificial grass offers up many benefits to the environment and the following are just some of those.
- It conserves water – This is the one thing that we as Australians are growing short off as temperatures are rising every single year. We need to conserve as much water as we possibly can and if everyone all across Australia take the step of putting in an artificial lawn then this will help the Earth in many different ways.
- Reduced carbon footprint – There are a number of choices when it comes to lawnmowers that Australians use and there are the petrol ones and there are the electric ones. Whatever choice that you make, you are creating a carbon footprint because you are using energy to cut your grass every single time. By deciding to lay artificial grass, you’re taking real steps to address your overall carbon footprint.
- Far less chemicals – If you have a real lawn then it’s likely that you are using many different fertilisers to keep the grass growing, pesticides to kill the insects that damage it and some herbicides as well. This means it you are spraying chemicals on your lawn better by likely seeking into the water table as well as causing damage to your pets and other family members.
As well as reducing your impact on nature, you’re also doing something wonderful for your neighbours and that is cutting down on the amount of noise that is happening throughout any Australian neighbourhood. On any given Saturday or Sunday all across the country, lawnmowers are being started up and noise pollution is being added to. Your neighbours will thank you for your smart choice once you put down your artificial grass and the environment will thank you as well.
