Lawn Warfare

Organic lawns turn into battlefront
The organic gardening movement is spurring neighborhood and even community 
battles, The Wall Street Journal reported last week. Homeowners who have 
successfully converted their lawns to pesticide-free zones are raising 
concerns about neighbors. The argument is similar to the one made against 
secondhand smoke from cigarettes and has reached community-level campaigns. 
Is this the 1st sign that U.S. cities and towns will soon be passing 
Canadian-style pesticide bans?
