We all should have one
What if there was a miraculous item that helped the earth, the air and our water supply all at the same time? In the United States, 53 million households have one, yet may underestimate its environmental benefits. What is it? A lawn. You're probably thinking, "My lawn's too small to do any real good." But think again. How powerful is your lawn?
Atmosphere
A well-maintained, average-sized lawn (about 10,000 square feet or just under a quarter of an acre) releases the oxygen requirements for 16 people per day, the same as four 100-foot trees.
One acre of grass absorbs hundreds of pounds a year of carbon dioxide, hydrogen fluoride, perosyacetyle nitrate and fossil fuel-created sulfur dioxide, lessening global warming and the greenhouse effect.
