anna_lillith 🇺🇦🌱🐖lawns aren’t just boring, they’re harmful. covering vast areas in grass that does nothing for pollinators or soil life is ecological nonsense. research shows that common lawn chemicals increase cancer risk, especially in dogs exposed to treated grass. we can still have grassy patches and parks, but this endless obsession with sterile, green perfection is costing us health, biodiversity and water. let’s grow wilder. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/lawn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lawn</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/pollinators" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pollinators</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cancer</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biodiversity</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#water</a>

Ele Willoughby, PhDI’m seeing invasive dog-strangling vine pop up around my neighbourhood. Now’s a great time to get rid of it… long before it goes to seed or starves monarch butterfly caterpillars who thought they were safely on milkweed.
