Question by : What are the effects of artificial turf on the environment?
Is it environmentally-friendly? How much does it cost?

Answer by sciencegravy
Covering the ground with plastic? No. it’s not environmentally friendly. Yes, you won’t be dumping toxins like herbicides and pesticides and fertilizers on it, but you’re also removing an area from providing any sort of habitat or food for insects and animals and plants. And any additional plastic in the environment cannot be called “earth friendly”

There are ways to growing things other than turf grass that take much less care and attention. Groundcovers, vegetable gardens, flowers, shrubs, trees….anything living that does require mowing, and periodic applications of chemicals is an improvement. Google “grass-free yards” and you’ll find tons of ideas.

Question by Owen F: Filter and pump for artificial limb based aquariums?
I had my left leg amputated after an accident 7 years ago. Since then I’ve had several different artificial limbs fitted. I’ve always found them a bit dull so I always try to accessorize them.
My latest limb has a fish tank fitted into the shin section (just big enough for 2 goldfish). All my friends and family think it’s amazing and it really gets people talking when I wear it down the pub. However I am having problems with the gravel at the bottom of the tank making the water cloudy. I think this is caused by the vibration every time I take a step. I really don’t want the fish to suffer so I need to find a suitable filtration system to keep the water clear.

Can anyone suggest a suitable filter and pump for artificial limb based aquariums?

You could use the bottome of a watter bottle to make an anchor. you go one/4 inch up from the bottome of the bottle reduce it out. then poke an hole in the middle of the bottom. and attach the plant, now you have a bowl to put your gravel/sand in, performs wonderful and is totally safe for your tank.

It goes with the artificial grass. It is a rubbery rock-like substance that imitates the appearance of dirt.

Probably not..

They survive outside because of this thing called the Sun, which is VERY bright. Compare sunlight to the light in your room, it’s probably 100X brighter.

They are low light plants, and can survive with a relatively small amount of light, but normal room lighting is not usually enough.

Question by : I am working on a project with artificial turf and spray paint. How can I keep the paint from flaking off?
Whenever I stroke my hand across the grass roughly, the paint flakes off. I tried a spray clear gloss that is supposed to seal and protect the paint but it did not work, even with 3 layers.

Answer by duncan
I do not think you will be able to paint the artificial turf if three layers dont stick. It sounds like the green in the turf is part of the chemical process in the factory. You cannot make a similar effect by hand. I would give up on painting it.
