Benefits of Sustainable Landscaping
By adopting and advocating sustainable landscaping, wildlife isn't the only benefactor. Here's how we can all benefit:
- Safety: for humans, animals, insects, and the planet.
- Better Health: for humans, animals, the lawns, and the planet.
- Water Conservation & Preservation: with the use of organic systems, water does not often become contaminated, and less water is required than with the use of synthetic programs.
- Soil Health & Sustainability: organics build organic matter and life within the soil.
- Pest Reduction: insects tend to be more attracted to out-of-balance synthetic systems.
- Resource Conservation: synthetic fertilizers are derived from fossil fuels, while organic systems encourage recycling and emphasize less mowing.
- Financial Savings: over time. As organic systems become more independent the soil improves; and lowers heating and cooling bills with strategic tree/shrub planting.
- Environmental Preservation: including a reduction in greenhouse gases, global warming, and flooding; and cleaner bodies of water for fishing, swimming, and drinking.
- Noise Reduction: from decreased reliance and usage on power equipment.
- Environmental Awareness: with each organic and environmentally friendly step taken, others will also follow suit.
