Artificial Turf: Is It Safe?

Our towns and schools are often faced with a decision whether to replace natural grass playing fields with artificial turf. While there are advantages, there are also concerns. The Green Team from PSEG Sustainability Institute at Montclair State University will join us remotely to discuss the results of their study that evaluated the environmental, social, and economic impacts of artificial turf versus natural grass for sports fields. Jenny Bechtold, Executive Director, Park District of La Grange will discuss factors influencing the decision to install artificial turf. Hosted in partnership with the League of Women Voters of the La Grange Area and Go Green Greater La Grange.
