Is There Anything Green About Plastic Grass?

Yes, there is! Only one though, its green coloured plastic!

Interesting article on the BBC website:

"Overall, the trend toward plastic grass is really worrying," says Mr Bunting. "We're facing a nature crisis where biodiversity is collapsing and a climate crisis. We're pedalling in a direction opposite to the one we should be going in."

Last year, a study showed the UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on the planet and has already lost around half its biodiversity since the 1970s.

One of the problems we have Mr Bunting, says "is that we're a neat and tidy nation and we need to get over that."

"If you're lucky enough to have a lawn let the grass grow," he adds. "You can mow the grass nearest the house, and that will mimic grazing areas in the wild. That will attract birds and bees."

An RHS spokesperson tells BBC News, "Real grass lawns give lots of benefits for the environment, including absorbing carbon dioxide and creating a home for wildlife.

"Plastic grass can't do any of this, and creates a sterile, lifeless area in the garden.

"Fake grass usually has to go in the bin when it is worn out and ends up in landfill."

The lady in the article who loves her plastic lawn, obviously doesn't miss seeing birds foraging for grubs, worms and insects on her sterile, hot plastic lawn! These should never have been invented!
