    I have to take this one step further- why do we even have lawns! ?? :)
    Seriously, we spend tons of many on gas mowing them, the lawn mowers pullute the hell out of our air, lawns were historically a thing for aristocrats to use as a middle finger & show off to the poor … we could grow native plants, organic herbs and food instead – that dont require chemicals or mowers. Keeping the air way cleaner, bills lower, and have fun gardening & being creative too.
    A lawn is a blank pallet that needs to be tilled and let grow.

    I totally agree!! Have you heard about the KILL YOUR LAWN campaign? I’ve wanted to post about it. It’s a nation-wide movement to turn residential lawns into wild gardens with flowers, herbs and veggies!! It’s pissing off a lot of neighbors! Love it. I’ll research and post more about it. For now, here’s a great story out of Oregon:

    As the producer of this film I was delighted to see you posting it here. Readers should also note that the film is available as a DVD for local screenings. We are in the process of organizing a national screening campaign for spring 2009. Part of the purpose of the film, and keeping it this short, is to encourage local panel discussions, debates, etc. to follow the screening. You can contact us through our website. Our website also has more information on the science relating to the hazards.

    Aloha, Sanford! Great work! Things like this will surely create more awareness about pet poisonings by lawn and other common household chems.

    My cover story today was on the new vet registry for animal poisonings http://www.thecanaryreport.org/2009/01/05/veterinarians-asked-to-report-pesticide-poisoning-incidents/ . More good stuff to help raise awareness about this serious issue.

    Thanks again for all your good work on behalf of our furry friends!
