Urgent regulation of artificial grass used for outdoor spaces
Unregulated proliferation of artificial grass in schools, sports pitches, public places and gardens poses massive threats to the environment. Living grass/turf plays a vital role in absorbing heavy rainfall, capturing CO2, removing air pollutants, lowering temperatures and maintaining biodiversity
Even the best fake grass cannot do this. This dangerous trend must be regulated to prevent catastrophic destruction on a national scale. Grass, an invaluable environmental asset, must be protected and promoted.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you'd like new rules around the sale and use of artificial grass, but we aren't sure what rules or regulation you'd like to see.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
