Artificial Lawns
Would you cover your backyard, garden, sports field, playground or green space with old car tyres?

When considering artificial turf think:
Burning hot in summer
Unsustainable life cycle
Microplastics in waterways
Lack of biodiversity
A precautionary approach should prevail

Consider
Native Australian grasses or Native viola

"The European Union has banned this type of rubber infill due to concerns about #microplastics ending up in #waterways"
