Here in Portland everyone cares about the environment and what is good for the planet.  I have to say I am one of those people.  I have been contemplating artificial turf for my yard for so many years, however I was unsure of the environmental effects of artificial turf.  I spent a lot of time researching artificial turf and the footprint it leaves on the environment.  I found a lot of my information on your website Global Syn Turf.com.  As  it turns out synthetic turf has a lot of redeeming characteristics that help the environment.  First, it is 95% recyclable.  This means that after its useful life you can recycle 95% of the material.  I thought this was pretty good considering other products on the market today that have little to no recycling capabilities.  One of the biggest things for me is that artificial turf saves so much water compared to having real grass in your yard.  I read that a 1,000 sq. ft. artificial turf installations can save 35,000 gallons of water per year.  This equates to about 70% of a household water bill.  Think about it, 70% of your water bill goes to watering the grass in your yard.  Think what can be done by saving 35,000 gallons of water per year per house.  That is a lot of water!   Some research shows you an average house uses 75,000 gallons of water per year watering their grass.  That alone seems like enough to consider installing artificial turf in your yard.

Well about a month ago I finally pulled the trigger and had Global Syn Turf artificial grass installed by a local dealer here in Portland.  I am writing this review to thank Global Syn Turf for the informative website and the great local representation you have in Oregon.
