Something REALLY needs to be done about all the dang golf courses at TV.
These playgrounds for an elite few are nothing more than a huge bio-hazard, where exotic soil and grass, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and weedicides, as well as machinery spewing their air pollution, are all imported to substitute for natural ecosystems.
These landscaped foreign systems create stress on local water supplies and soil, at the same time being highly vulnerable to disease and pest attacks. The environmental impacts include water depletion and toxic contamination of the soil, underground water, surface water and the air. This in turn leads to health problems for local communities like TV, populations downstream and even golfers, caddies and chemical sprayers in golf courses.The construction of golf courses in scenic natural sites also results in the destruction of biodiversity.
Something definitely needs to be done. Or do you think I'm being a tad unreaasonable perhaps, Charlie?
