🌿 Imagine stepping out onto a perfectly manicured lawn every day, with no mowing or muddy patches in sight.

When considering a low-maintenance, lush outdoor area, it's essential to find skilled professionals in artificial grass installation.

Council wants to ban artificial grass on nature strips over microplastics and PFAS concerns

"Fake lawns produce microplastics and contain PFAS chemicals that should not be near gutters. Artificial turf has PFAS and it's not good for our stormwater...If it gets into the stormwater, it can contaminate it... It can get up to 90 degrees …It also leeches microplastics into the waterways, impacting ecosystems. And finally, it will eventually end up in landfill."

Boo. The new neighbours are removing this magnificent beech #tree

I get it - they get no sun whatsover in their garden past about 10am during the Summer. And they're also removing the dreadful #ArtificialGrass that the previous people put in because nothing grows under the tree and planting wild flowers. So it's not all bad.

This is why I've been distracted the last five days (since June 9). A deep dive reading the 539 page review report on design, use and impacts of synthetic turf in public open spaces by the NSW Office of the Chief Scientist and Engineer. 77 pages of report based on 462 pages of scientific assessment and responses in 19 appendices.

This is a globally significant current science based assessment on synthetic turf in public open space. My comments and summary:
