Are Pesticides Necessary To Maintain A Healthy, Green Lawn And Landscape?

The answer to this question is no. Organic lawn care creates a healthy soil, filled with a variety of beneficial organisms that naturally create conditions for a healthy lawn. We also must learn to enjoy the natural diversity in our lawns. Though pesticides may be a faster way to get things done but organic lawn care is more beneficial for us humans and our environment.

Inquiry Question #1

How Can Pesticides Cause Global Warming?

Pesticides can attach themselves to dust particles and travel away from their intended destinations to other unintended places. In the air, these pesticides can attach to other chemicals in the air. Some pesticides produce volatile organic compounds that pollute the atmosphere when they react with other chemicals. Global warming is caused because of these pesticides that have united with other chemicals. Though pesticides can cause global warming, global warming can also effect pesticides. Warmer weather allows for pesticides to spread further than in cooler conditions. This is also extremely harmful on the environment.
