Please don't turn your lawn into plastic. Plastic grass reduces food and shelter for wildlife such as bees and butterflies; has a high carbon footprint; and sheds micro-plastics which wash into our rivers and seas. Create a wildlife-friendly space instead 🐝🐞🌱

@LGSpace still surprised the rubbish isn't banned.

@LGSpace My son has just bought his first house. It has plastic grass in the back garden. He is appalled and loves nature but cannot afford to take it up. It costs so much.

@LGSpace We had young guests for the TG Day weekend. They liked to buy fast food often during the day (?) including frosty drinks. They complained loudly at their disspleasure with the new paper straws. We live on the SE coast of Florida where the havoc that plastic wreaks is obvious. A retired charter captain, I know the horror hidden just under the sunny surface of the waves. They are 30'somethings. It's fiction to them. 11/30/22

@LGSpace I live on a new housing estate. Sadly, many people have/are keen to lay artificial grass in their back gardens 😞 Thankfully we persuaded an elderly neighbour not to replace front garden turf with artificial grass by offering to mow the lawn 😌
