“Americans love their lawns with a passion rarely seen in other countries; fifty-eight million
Americans enthusiastically plant, weed, water, spray, and mow an estimated twenty million
acres of lawn. But is our dedication to these lawns contributing to the serious environmental
problems facing the planet?” F. Herbert Bormann
