One of the topics that we first introduced on our blog this term was the fact that while $45 billion is spent on manicuring and maintaining lawns, another $100 billion in damage results from the irresponsible planting of invasive species. Because next to no legislation is currently in place it is up to us to make a change. To check out an interesting article about invasive plant species and what we can do to help stop this problem CLICK HERE. If you do decide to check out the site make sure that you explore some of the links at the bottom of the page.
