Received via email 5.11.24 from William Strawbridge:
Years ago, ARCOM dealt with this issue, when the school wanted to use it for the playing fields, presumably because it requires zero maintenance and has a long life.
Then, a number of parents did the due diligence, discovered its main ingredient is a cancerous material called PFAS, the word spread, they descended upon the Town Council ‘s next meeting, and that was the end of that.
Palm Beachers still can't afford real grass? What is the world coming to?
