It’s your money. Your city council & school board were elected to manage it responsibly. Nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like paying more for fake grass than real grass—short & long term. 🙄

Synthetic turfs are literally plastic rugs. The plastic carpet fibers break down & shed as a result of weathering & wear. These fibers disperse into the environment & wash down storm drains into waterways. Research shows how serious the resulting microplastic pollution is:

📱New Publication! "The dark side of artificial greening: Plastic turfs as widespread pollutants of aquatic environments"🌿 We have found that artificial turf fibers account for up to 15% of the meso- and macroplastics in rivers and sea surface waters! doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.202

 A study by Brigham Young University found that the “surface temperature of artificial turf was 37° F hotter than asphalt, and 86.5° F hotter than natural [grass] turf.”’

“PFAS are usually found in artificial turf. The Environmental Protection Agency has found that there is virtually no safe level of several PFAS that should be used. PFAS have been linked to

 environmental disaster.” thesubtimes.com/2025/06/01/l

Because artificial turf is challenging to recycle
 “After its relatively short lifespan of ~8-15yrs, artificial turf ends up in indefinite storage, landfills & incinerators, creating a whole host of additional pollution problems.” 😔 #BanPlasticTurf yahoo.com/news/opinion-whats

Plastic turf fields grind down under use & weather so need relatively frequent replacing. Your school/city being told the used plastic carpets will be “recycled” in Texas? This is “an unproven marketing play so plastic production can keep growing.” insideclimatenews.org/news/2

“The [plastic] turf industry counters that grass fields result in use of costly fertilizers & pesticides, which also become runoff pollution... a reasonable concern, but it can be addressed w/environmentally responsible pest management & soil amendments.” yahoo.com/news/opinion-whats

“This is much bigger than straws. Plastic is a product of the fossil fuel industry and Earth’s biggest oil spill
 It is crucial that our government representatives protect people and the planet by supporting a drastic reduction in plastic and chemical production globally.”
