| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses problems, including "population growth, rising economic aspirations of developing countries, natural resource scarcity and competition, and environmental degradation," and solutions based on sustainability. States that "the Xeriscape concept is a powerful educational tool for sustaining a functional and aesthetic urban environment." Discusses different ways Xeriscape can be used, including to "reduce demands for non-renewable energy resources" and to "lessen solid waste disposal requirements." Also discusses "plant selection"; "energy conservation"; "integrated pest management"; "low input maintenance"; "nonpoint source pollution control"; "mowing and solid waste management"; "the grass syndrome"; and "biological diversity." |
