Rethinking Lawn Care This Spring!
Thank you for stopping by little island studios, please subscribe by email to follow along in family fun!
We need to rethink lawn care in this country. We have the mindset that having a bright green lawn, no weeds and no bugs is desirable. Is having the "greenest" lawn in the neighborhood really worth risking your kids (or you) getting Cancer, Parkinson's, Kidney Disease, autoimmune, Autism or one of the many other diseases pesticides, chemicals and Roundup are linked to?

Please, talk to your neighbors, talk to people in your community about the dangers and how to stop the use. Are you aware if they use dangerous chemicals at your child's school? At the park playground? (just a hint, yes, they most probably do)
Anywhere your child is spending any time, you owe it to yourself the them to find out. Knowledge is power - this is not one of those situations where ignorance is bliss.
Ignorance about Roundup is not bliss, it is damn dangerous for your health.
Spring feed wells and lawn chemicals do not mix.
You would not believe how many chemicals are used on these lawns.
(you would also not believe the Cancer & Parkinson's rate in the neighborhood)
Coincidence?
