More than 16,000 golf facilities could be impacted by the Environmental Protection Agency’s recent creation of the GreenScapes Alliance.
The EPA-formed alliance represents a nationwide effort to broaden and enhance waste reduction efforts by combining industry and government initiatives into a unified program geared toward reduction, reuse and recycling of waste materials in large land-use applications. These land-use activities include four million miles of roadside landscaping, brownfields land revitalization and the beautification and maintenance of office complexes, golf courses and parks.
The alliance is just one component of the EPA’s Resource Conservation Challenge, which identifies innovative, flexible and protective ways to conserve natural resources and energy. More than 100,000 businesses, including landscape contractors and golf facilities, are involved in these land-use activities and are potential alliance participants.
