This slide was part of a 2019 Synthetic Turf Council meeting. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? HOW DO FIBERS AND GRANULES ESCAPE? Thousands of pounds of #microplastics must be added each year to each #syntheticturf b/c they go down the drain and are carried into the environment. #plasticpollution

Anyone who plays any sport on artificial turf should read this. All coaches, trainers, parents, school boards, and lying/ignorant turf salespeople should also read this. Is crumb rubber in turf worth it?

Thank you to Garden News for sharing my words about artificial grass in the article titled 'Troublesome Turf'. Why not pick up a copy of the magazine and ask yourself what do you think about synthetic V real grass?

The #goatongrass ! Congrats Tom Brady
