In addition to the environmental problems, artificial turf is harmful for the children - with a higher risk of heat stroke and heat burns.

Absolutely do not do this! Forever chemicals are getting inside our water and food systems --. This has to stop. It's privatized benefit with public or socialized risk.

Keep toxic PFAS away from our homes and our children! It never goes away and will be here forever if installed!

plastic turf is bad for kids, bad for the earth, cannot be recyled, inevitably leads to field lighting, again bad for environment.

Replacing a green space with mature trees and installing artificial turf on the field is a terrible idea. Metropolitan areas need more green space with trees, not less.

This is an environmental disaster, particularly in the current time where natural urban green spaces are so important.

I would petition Maret to be the change they want to see in the world by chosing a living field of grass

Multiple states have already banned artificial turf and PFAS due to the harm they cause. More bans are likely to happen. Please switch to natural grass to preserve the future of our planet, our city, and your students.

Please use only natural grass for your sports fields. Not only does artificial turf pose an environmental risk, it is dangerous for athletes.
Look at all of the issues the NFL is having with certain stadium surfaces, they are all shifting to real grass because of the amount of injuries.

Playing fields need natural grass, not petrochemical products!

If these Maret people want to put their families at risk that may be their prerogative, as perverse as that is. But how dare Maret put others, and the outdoors, at risk. What arrogance. What self-indulgence.
