      I was planning on putting synthetic grass in my backyard. I guess that’s off the table now

      This material is so popular because it is cheap. It allows the tire industry to claim that there is a pathway to recycling and to dispose of old tires.

      Tires are a major environmental problem. They are shredded through normal use and a major source of microplastics that we end up inhaling and ingesting. There are no good way to dispose of them. We need to stop externalizing the cost of tires.

      I NEVER liked turf. In college, we got a brand new turf one year and they pushed all sports to use it for practice. Football, LAX, Soccer. From spit and blood sprinkling all over the delicious rubber crumble – one spring, every turf-practicing team had a huge outbreak of MRSA and it’s because the bacteria THRIVES in the material! I thankfully only had it on my foot up my calf but some people on my team had it on their face and looked awful. I knew it was bad at the bacteria level but now this makes me hate turf even MORE.

      Not legal any more in Germany. All new artificial pitches now use natural filler. Our local pitch uses crushed olive pits
