Wildlife preservation

DID YOU KNOW? HERBICIDES used on lawns take a terrible toll on wildlife. More than seven million wild BIRDS are estimated to die annually due to the use of lawn pesticides. Thirty million acres of the U.S. are lawns, and an estimated 80 million pounds of pesticides are used on them annually. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reports that “homeowners use up to ten times more chemical pesticides per acre on their lawns than farmers use on crops.” ~Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association
