Background

We call on the government to ban the sale, import & installation of artificial grass for domestic & commercial landscaping.Natural, living gardens are essential infrastructure for climate resilience, well-being & wildlife conservation.We urge legislative action to stop the affect on our environment.

Additional details

Fake grass harms the environment by blocking wildlife habitats, radiating intense heat, and shedding plastic pollution. Its overall impact involves destroying soil life, trapping high temperatures, and creating permanent landfill waste in addition to the damage to our wildlife.If we don't do something now, what is going to become of our environment? Our children are going to lose out on our beautiful countryside & animals if we don't act now.
