I had cancer as a child and I don’t want to be exposed to more carcinogens for no good reason. Also, if you kill the drought resistant “weeds” we will have a thirsty lawn that will only look good when we have consistent rain or we will have to put an expensive watering system in to keep it green. We can’t afford it.

I agree in that using herbicides to create a monoculture lawn is an expense with harmful side effects, and in my opinion would decrease the useability and visual appeal of the grounds. Hardy mix of grasses and other plants, with the dandelions and violets and clover for color, is one of the selling points that i moved here for.

I believe there is a place for a thoughtful discussion to meet mutual goals. I also wonder what is wanted by the community of buyers that we would want to attract. We don't know that. We only know the results of tepid survey.

The image tells the story. We need have a healthy soil, and that will yield a beautiful lawn.

I do not support the use of pesticides or herbicides on our lawns. This is neither a healthy choice for our local community nor a sustainable long-term plan for the world at large. I am willing to live with a few weeds now so that future generations have just that; a future...

The health of the people in our community is more important than a showy chemical lawn.

I know a lot of people- including myself- who moved here precisely because we don't use pesticides and we try to do right by the ecosystem. It would be a very concerning let down to change course on those values.

Somehow we need to help people understand that living in a beautiful community is not about green grass. It’s about having a safe nontoxic environment for our selves, children, pets and staff.

A "golf course" monoculture lawn feels dead, gross, and incredibly ugly. We need our co-op to show the life, beauty, and brains of a smart and healthy natural system with a variety of healthy plants in the lawn areas we all use.

Many of our members are quite knowledgeable about alternatives to using herbicides. They possess a multitude of information and resources. As a cooperative we should include members' knowledge and experience to help us create/maintain a beautiful, natural and safe environment

Pesticides kill so much that we need For a healthy environment. I would like to see the Co-Op Explore sustainable options for our grounds. I know a man who was an expert in this who would speak to the members about ways to have beauty and sustainable healthy environments
