Saving the earth: start in your
backyard. Details below.
Saving earth is everyone's responsibility. The damages
done to the earth resources have to be slowed-down and
eventually stop if we want our children and grand-children
to enjoy a healthy outdoor life like we can.
The big polluters have been pointed and rules and
regulations to diminish the toxic gas emissions have been
put into place. Manufacturers are now targeted to ensure
they lower their pollution production.
Although this is a small step in the right direction,
more needs to be done to slow down and eventually stop the
wastes of our natural resources. Such solutions as walking
instead of taking the car for small travels are a good and
healthy start. Other measures such as not letting the
purified water run aimlessly or better isolation of a house
to lower the fuel consumption to heat it are all small steps
that have the power to make a difference in the long
run.
Other measures such as only washing the dishes or the
laundry for full loads can on the long run greatly reduce
the exploitation of earth's resources.
Saving the earth can also be done in your own backyard.
Hence, when mowing the lawn, it has been proven that by
leaving the cut grass, you are saving a lot on fertilizers
and you have greatly diminishing the quantity of waist you
are producing.  The
other great benefit from not picking-up the cut grass is the
time saving you can enjoy. Cut grass when left in place has
the power to give back to the earth powerful and natural
nutrients and a good load of natural water.
Saving the earth's resources by leaving the cut grass in
place will actually give you a greener grass from the
nutrients your lawn is getting back. It will also reduce or
eliminate your needs for polluting pesticides and
fertilizers.
After 48 hours of being cut, most of the grass will have
returned to earth, this time can be faster in case of rainy
weather. It has been calculated that when thrown away, grass
clipping residues can account for as much as 24% of the
yearly domestic trash production.
Other tricks and tips to get a greener more ecological
grass include: Use a mulching land mower, have a sharp
blade, cut your grass frequently but not too short. Short
grass is said to favor the growth of weeds and has the power
to attract more insects.
