Many people and organizations these days are looking
for ways to reduce excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, in the hope
that this might slow the warming of the planet. Even the turf industry
claims that “well-managed” lawn absorbs carbon and thus should be
considered a good thing.
“Lawn is a valued resource for
sequestering carbon, with a net positive carbon storage for all lawn
management practices.” That’s what they say at Scotts Miracle Gro, which
calls itself the world’s largest marketer of branded consumer lawn and
garden products.
