LGUSD kids need more daily exposure to nature, not more daily exposure to biocides
LGUSD is in the process of designing elementary school outdoor classrooms outfitted with artificial turf.
The imitation-grass blades they've chosen will be coated w/antimicrobials.
Antimicrobials are associated w/human & environmental harm. Reduce unnecessary use of chemicals from the 6 classes of concern.
Kids need more daily exposure to nature, not more daily exposure to biocides.
