Abstract/Contents:Provides excerpts of Turfgrass Producers International postings on the United States Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Standards online comments section. Supports the perceived benefits of turfgrass "to human health in terms of recreation, increased physical activity, reduced risk of obesity and stress reduction." Encourages the United States Green Building Council to take these suggestions into account while establishing LEED standards. Cites the "Benefits of Green Space - Recent Research" report that focused "on the benefits of a healthy, properly maintained green space." Suggests the "long term solution is in educating the public and creating greater awareness of best management practices, water conservation guidelines, promoting the use of fuel efficient and environmentally friendly lawn care equipment and irrigation systems."
