@Against_3G @semiosmith There was heaps of black plastic washing from the synthetic field into creek after heavy Sydney rainfall
@Against_3G A Welsh professional rugby player said last night on TV, after playing a cup game on a different pitch. " It was good to be back playing on a grass pitch and not get those burns off a plastic pitch!" - "listen!"
@Against_3G What a mess. We, as humans, have got to stop the destruction of our planet. Manufacturers must be responsible for recycling plastic.
@Against_3G Somehow that doesn't surprise me if #artificialgrass is as popular in #Spain as it is in #Portugal where I sadly see the horrible stuff in many gardens and promoted in the media.
