| Abstract/Contents: | "Over the past decade, environmental concerns in the United States have integrated themselves into our culture on a vast scale...According to EPA estimates, America generates 180 million tons of trash a year, most of which ends up in local dumps...The recycling push of the last few years has been one of many efforts to reduce landfill waste, but when most people think recycling, they think of their bottles, cans and newspapers. They don't think about their grass clippings, hedge trimmings, or the leaves that fall from their trees (which they are no longer allowed to burn because of clean-air laws)...One of the best ways to be sure waste doesn't get into a landfill is to leave it where it was produced...The best use of grass clippings is a nutritious mulch and soil builder for the very turf from which they are presently being removed." |
