Britain's Lawns Helping to Reduce Pollution

24/03/2006

The satisfaction of creating a beautiful lawned garden can be rewarding for you and the environment.

• Lawn turf grass traps and removes dust and dirt from the air.


• 250 sq.metres of lawn absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and releases enough oxygen for a family of four to breathe.


• Lawn turf acts as a natural filter, reducing pollution by purifying the water passing through its root zone.


• Unlike paved areas, lawn turf absorbs rain and passes the surplus on to the underground water table.


• The soft resilient surface of lawn turf is the safest and least expensive place to play. Compare the temperature on a hot day between a lawn and a paved or tarmac area.

Cedric McMillan, Rolawn's Sales & Marketing Director commented "Many people are unaware that laying a lawn brings positive benefits to our environment and actually aids the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, reduces energy consumption and contributes to the efforts to reduce global warming. At Rolawn, we want to make people aware that as a lawn grows, it cools and cleans the atmosphere by reflecting the sun's heat, silently and efficiently contributing to a healthier environment".
