It is environmentally irresponsible to allow garden space occupied by grass & other plant life (which processes CO2 & supports wildlife) to be replaced by plastic which does not biodegrade.

Natural Grass & Plants encourage a healthy ecosystem, capturing CO2.

Banning the sale of artificial grass could be a small step towards increasing the UK biodiversity, reducing our carbon footprint & helping our ever dwindling insect & wildlife population. Artificial Grass:

1) Creates huge volumes of plastic waste.

2) Lasts 8-12yrs & can’t always be recycled.

3) Pollutes soil with microplastics.

4) Has a large carbon footprint.

5) Contributes to flooding.

6) Overheats making artificial grass lawns unusable.

7) Has to be swept or vacuumed & cleaned with detergent.

8) Has NO wildlife benefit.

It's time to do the right thing for our Planet & Wildlife and ban the sale of Artificial Grass completely.
