1.) Safety, for humans, animals, insects and the planet


2.) Better Health, for humans, animals, the lawns and the planet


3.) Water Conservation & Preservation, since water does not often become contaminated in organic systems, which also require less water than synthetic programs


4.) Soil Health & Sustainability, since organics builds organic matter and life within the soil


5.) Pest Reduction, since insects tend to be more attracted to out-of-balance synthetic systems


6.) Resource Conservation, since synthetic fertilizers are derived from fossil fuels and organic systems encourage recycling, and because organic systems emphasize less mowing


7.) Financial Savings through time, since organic systems become more independent as the soil is improved


8.) Environmental Preservation, including a reduction in greenhouse gases and global warming


9.) Noise Reduction from decreased reliance on power equipment


10.) Environmental Awareness from the organic practioners, who don’t rely on “four-step plans” and instead tend to become stewards of the land.
