What We’re Working On
Plastic Turf
Synthetic turf, or “plastic grass” has gained popularity as an alternative to natural grass fields in recent years. Proponents argue for its convenience, lower maintenance costs, enhanced durability, and improved accessibility. However, it is essential to consider the broader implications of astroturf installations. SCCA and our allies around the county aim to explore the environmental, health, and community concerns associated with astroturf, advocating for a more sustainable and health-conscious approach to our recreational spaces.
