Sustainable Landscaping: Accelerating the Change

Presented by guest speaker Lois Kraus, vice chair of the Westfield Green Team and co-founder of Advocates for Transforming Landscaping in New Jersey (ATL-NJ) a cooperative of volunteers from more than 40 communities seeking to transition away from the use of two-stroke landscaping equipment in favor of more sustainable practices.

In this session we will discuss: -

 -  Why the aesthetic of a perfectly manicured green lawn needs to be reexamined?

 -  Why gas leaf blowers noise isn't the only thing that should bother you

 -  What are some sustainable landscaping techniques I can adopt (or ask my landscaper to do)

 -  Why you should "Adopt-A-Drain" in your neighborhood
