It hopes to mobilize people to give to those in need.
Budgets are tight, and finding money for charity can be difficult. Peaceweeds.com suggests that reducing what we spend on lawn care and chemicals can create funds for giving.
This approach prioritizes helping others over killing weeds.
Did you know that Americans spend $40 Billion annually on lawn care? If just 25% of that was reallocated to charity, an extra $10 Billion could be diverted to those who need it.
There are other advantages. Excessive lawn care introduces numerous chemicals into the environment, uses a great deal of water, and pollutes the atmosphere. Even small changes in lawn care can save money, conserve natural resources, and protect our environment.
When all the world's ills are cured,
perhaps then we can worry about weeds. Until then,
let your lawn bear its peaceweeds as a statement of solidarity in the
name of giving.
So, what to do next?
Spend less on lawn care. Take the money you have saved and give it to charities that can use your help now (there are links listed on page 2 of this site to help you get started) Tell your neighbors that having a few weeds is better than neglecting those who need help!
Peaceweeds: it's not about what you should do; it's about what you could do.
