Turfgrass

In addition to reducing carbon dioxide, turfgrass traps an estimated 12 million tons of dust and dirt released annually into the atmosphere. | Turfgrass is a living organism which takes in carbon dioxide and converts it into simple sugars to use as food through the process of photosynthesis. | An average sized healthy lawn can capture 300 pounds of carbon per year and a golf course fairway can capture 1,500 pounds per year. | Because of this, experts state that the strategic use of turfgrass is the most sensible and economically feasible approach to countering the greenhouse effect in urban areas.
