| Abstract/Contents: | Suggests that the actions of golf clubs are "absolutely fundamental to the claims golf can make about its environmental sustainability." Highlights several environmental efforts by golf courses, including the use of the Jacobsen E-plex, an electric powered mower. Also mentions Complete Weed Control (CWC) and its use "as part of a safe disposal and recycling operation." Stresses that "very few 'organic' products are organic." Announces that "horticultural company Barnyards is making its fleet of 40 vehicles cleaner and greener." Describes the pothole filling technique "Nu-Phalt, a system which needs just two men, one compact vehicle and mainly in situ-recycle road fill material." Also mentions the use of Nemasys G at Stonehenge, "which uses nematodes to kill off pests naturally and safely." |
