Become more involved in helping to save the planet for future generations. Being “Green” is not cheap, easy or convenient. There is technology readily available to prevent your lawn from being overwatered. No excuses.
What waste? Irrigation water not consumed by vegetation returns to groundwater or to stormwater ponds for reuse for irrigation while providing an ecosystem for wildlife.
