The same can be said for chemicals that you put on your lawn.

I am NOT an environmentalist or Tree Hugger.
However, I have seen the current problems caused by Fertilizers.
Most of family live East Coastal Florida near/on the Inter-Coastal Waterway
(ICW) or attached Riverfront Communities. I am the only Villager.
Please, take a trip to The Indian River Lagoon "and environs".
Melbourne to Port St Lucie FL. Head up the Rivers tied to ICW.
Then head over to Lake Okeechobee
See the devastation to wildlife and the GIGANTIC Algae Blooms.
The water is overwhelmed with excess Nitrogen and Phosphorus.
DIRECTLY traced to RUNOFF from Golf Courses, Lawns and
Agriculture Fertilizers.
See where OVER $ BILLION Dollars of work is needed to restore these areas.
Talk to the families of those who died from the TOXIC Algae Blooms
in the Rivers and Tributaries IN Eastern and Coastal Florida.
Florida is in a Crisis when it comes to Excessive Fertilizer runoff.
The Inter-Coastal Waterway System is a Prime example.
