New Company Helps Golf Courses Become Sustainable
Golf courses: centers of work, play, and...carbon sequestration? Golf courses covered in turfgrass sequester carbon more quickly than any other urban landscape, and one enterprising company wants to take advantage of that fact.
The Golfpreserves project plans to package sequestered carbon from golf courses participating in their program and sell the resulting carbon credits.
Revenue from credit sales will go back into greening the golf industry through environmentally improved turfgrass, irrigation, and pesticide use.
In addition to making golf more sustainable, the Golfpreserves program could also make the game more attractive to consumers. According to a recent Golf Digest survey, over half of the United States population believes greener golf courses would improve the industry's image.
And since the Golfpreserves program is free for golf course owners to join, there's no reason not to get involved.
For more information on getting started, check out the Golfpreserves website.
