The government tosses millions of tons of salt on the streets every winter....Every spring my grass dies due to it. What do I do??? I mix up a chrynobyl like substance of chemicals and spread liberally on my lawn.

Thus being drained back into the environment. Again, a no win situation. We're all guilty.

using a liberal amount of chemical on your lawn (granular or liquid) is never a good thing, for your lawn or the environment. But if you us the products at the suggested rates and intervals then they do no harm what's so ever ... the water actually ends up cleaner when it cycles through your lawn and back into the drains

i come from a turf maintaince (golf) background and this is what i studied in school ... so i have lots of experience with this topic.

liberally applying chemicals to your lawn is also why MANY municapalities have baned the use of such chemicals

but that's a whole other topic

soon enough every house well come with there own water treatment plant that well have all the water that passes through your house (comming and going) sent through it .. is it overkill? Yes very much so, but so are many of the arguements/bans that the goverment is trying to enforce

and guelph has got to be the worst city i know of for water bans. As soon as the weather reaches 15° the implement a water ban, you'd think they were located in the middle of a desert
