Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Environment, Water, Water Resources, Wetlands Conservation & Management
Mission: To raise awareness regarding the need to protect and restore the water quality in the u. S. By educating the general public about the dangers of using conventional chemical pesticides, weedkillers and fertilizers in the management of lawns, yards and gardens, and of the adverse effect the use of these chemicals have on drinking water and human health.
Programs: The great healthy yard project had a great launch in 2014. It has changed many minds and informed many people about the fact that the most widespread source of pollution of our drinking water are the chemicals that we use casually in our gardens and our homes. It has also begun to help people embrace the solution, a new aesthetic, with more natural lawns and gardens. There were multiple appearances on several national public radio stations.
