The Environmental Benefits of Your Lawn
A beautiful lawn is a sense of pride for many people. We all look forward to the barbecues and get togethers. It is also nice to hear comments about how green and healthy our lawn looks! Let’s face it, having a lush green lawn simply feels great.
Sadly, a percentage of homeowners choose to sacrifice environmental health in the pursuit of the “perfect” lawn. The good news: you don’t have to decide between caring about how nice your lawn looks and decreasing your carbon footprint. This is a major point of focus for us at Emerald Outdoor, LLC. We strive to make lawns healthier while having minimal impact on the environment.
Your lawn and how you take care of it can have benefits for the environment. One of these benefits are:
Grass purifies and improves air quality
Grass takes up carbon dioxide and releases oxygen like all living plants. It doesn’t only remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, but it also traps dust to keep it out of both the air and your lungs. Grass is responsible for trapping 12 million tons of dust each year that would otherwise contaminate the air. Less dust blowing around means easier breathing. It also means cleaner cars, cleaner houses, and cleaner windows.
