how can I avoid being exposed to lawn care chemicals?
I like to walk, run, and bike around my neighborhood, but the people in my neighborhood (lazy, uninformed fools) constantly apply toxic lawn-care chemicals to their lawns, almost on a weekly basis, and as a result I am constantly exposed to toxic and even carcinogenic fumes and vapors. What can I do? I don’t have a car, so I am quite simply forced to walk or bike. Should I buy a gas mask?
thanks
okay, be sarcastic if you wish, but if you use lawn-care chemicals, or if your neighbors use it, know that it WILL make you sick or even kill you!
What classes do i need as a lawn care owner for applying fertilizer legally in Indiana?
I know that you have to take a class for owners of lawn care to fertilize and use chemicals on lawns if it is for profit. I just cannot find the website or any information about where to do this in indiana. Please someone that has taken this class or who has the certification help me out?
Are landscape/lawn services "green"?
I find that many landscape/lawn maintenance services have a conflict with the environment. They want to leave the property looking perfect when they drive away every time. That is understandable. The owner in many cases is not aware of options, the results of options and the amount of chemicals being used to have the lawn looking the way it does. The lawn service is not motivated to educate the home owner since any education would likely result in a reduction of billable work. The end result may be that we have excessive amounts of fertilizer, weed killer and insecticides in our environment.
