Argh, the comments on this FB post are depressing. So many people saying they've got artificial lawns or thinking of getting them. How can we turn the tide of this 'fashion'?

Oh dear my (polite) comment on FB highlighting the problems with artificial grass is getting a lot of backlash! A lot of issues with dog urine burning real grass. I've never understood why you'd want dog urine just sitting on artificial grass though. Surely it would smell?

I've been researching & it gets worse...So these people who own dogs but don't want real grass ('because it's too much hassle') then have to buy a disinfectant to clean their artificial grass with. Actually giving themselves more work to do & poisoning the environment further.
