• Absorbs Carbon Dioxide. The lawn is the largest car-
bon sink in the United States. Carbon sinks are natural sys-
tems that suck up and store greenhouse gas carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere. The dense canopy and fibrous root
system in a lawn sequesters carbon so well that it outweighs
the carbon used for maintaining the lawn by as much as sev-
enfold.
• Generates Oxygen. Lawns are incredible oxygen pro-
ducers. A turf area 50’ x 50’ produces enough oxygen to
meet the daily needs of a family of four.
• Supports Biodiversity. Grass, trees, shrubs and other
plants provide food and habitat for birds and small mam-
mals. Insects, spiders and worms live among the grass blades
and below the surface in the turf, so your lawn can support
biodiversity and wildlife.
• Controls Soil Erosion. Turfgrass controls erosion

through its natural, dense and fibrous root system. Without
grass, soil erodes into streams and lakes, muddying the
waters and limiting how sunlight penetrates the water. The
nutrients and chemicals carried with soil can cause algae
blooms, which steal oxygen from the water and kill fish.
Lawn or No Lawn Is Not the Question
So how to maintain a living landscape-even under tough
conditions like a drought?
First, choose the right turfgrass for the climate zone and
lifestyle. Hundreds of varieties of turfgrass exist, and some of
them-such as buffalo and Bermuda grass-are excellent for
drought conditions. When established, these grasses require
very little water and are hardy enough to survive foot traffic,
children’s play and pets.
Secondly, know that too much water is actually bad for
grass. Overwatering causes the grass roots to grow horizon-
tally, rather than vertically. With less water, the grass has to
work harder and will grow its roots deeper into the soil in
search of moisture. This helps it do a better job of trapping
carbon and releasing oxygen.
People also need to change the perception that lawns
must remain green. It’s okay to let your grass go brown.
Grass will grow in cycles, “turning on and off,” based on the
resources it gets. As water becomes less available in an area,
grass will slow down, go dormant and turn brown. Turfgrass
is resilient. It will green up again when the rains return.
Lastly, incorporate native plants with adaptive plants and
grasses suitable for the climate. Add pollinator plants that
provide food and habitat for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds
and other animals and insects.

IRECTORY
CANOE 17’ DAGGER
(NAPSA)-While in some parts of our country, people are
replacing their lawns with rocks, mulch, cacti and plastic
grass-deadening the landscape in order to conserve water-
you may not have to.
“Having a lawn and being a good environment steward
are not mutually exclusive,” explains Kris Kiser, president
and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute
(OPEI). “Grass is a vital part of our living landscapes that
contribute to our communities, our families and our
health.”
Lawns provide a safe place for families to gather and for
children and pets to play. But grass is also brilliant at com-
bating many environmental challenges. For example, a good
lawn:
• Filters and Captures Runoff. When it rains, water
“sheets off” hard surfaces, such as hardscapes, parking lots,
driveways and roads, turning rainwater into fast-moving,
storm water runoff. Grass, however, slows down and absorbs
runoff, while also cleansing water of impurities and dust.
The grass filtration system is so effective that rainwater fil-
tered through a healthy lawn is often as much as 10 times
less acidic than water running off a hard surface.
• Reduces Heat. Lawns can be outdoor air conditioners.
Turfgrass dissipates the heat island effect caused from
asphalt, concrete and other hardscapes. Remarkably, studies
have shown that lawns can be 31 degrees cooler than asphalt
and 20 degrees cooler than bare soil. That means lower ener-
gy bills for you and a nicer environment for everyone.
• Improves Air Quality. Grass also plays a vital role in
capturing dust, smoke particles and other pollutants.
Without grass, these pollutants will remain in the air, result-
ing in more “code red” air quality days.
