Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the positive effects healthy lawns have upon water and air quality. States that "thick grass prevents soil erosion, filters contaminants from rainwater, and absorbs many types of airborne pollutants, like dust and soot. Grass is also highly efficient at converting carbon dioxide to oxygen, a process that helps clean the air." |
