Having a green lawn means using fertilizer. But the kind of fertilizer used makes a big difference for the environment.
Nitrogen fertilizers run off into streets, sewers and eventually make their way to local waterways and eventually to the ocean.
But a program called Greenscapes North Shore is being put into effect by the Ipswich River Watershed Association in Massachusetts. The program is to educate homeowners on how best to have a beautiful lawn while at the same time not pollute the environment.
There are many fertilizers to choose from so the best thing for a homeowner to do is select natural fertilizers which work with, and not against, the environment.
