"Huge amounts of plastic from artificial grass end up in the sea

Fibres from artificial grass make up 15 per cent of plastic pieces found in samples of seawater near Barcelona."

What a day for Knocklyon Park! The Astro Part 8 has been REJECTED and our beloved park is safe! Thanks to the 1000s who raised submissions (99.7% against this!) + marched, + our local Cllrs who ensured this was rejected + the wishes of park users + residents won out!! 🦇🦡🦔

[Friends of Knocklyon Park @SaveKnocklyonPk]

What a brilliant shot of Knocklyon Park looking hauntingly atmospheric this evening! Great shot Liam + Fiona!

[Friends of Knocklyon Park @SaveKnocklyonPk]

@fcemurphy @WildWoodstown @KnocklyonNet @seanmccarthaigh @Bodengaa @CarlowWeather @AimsirTG4 Fantastic photo Liam+ Fiona! Wow!

[Friends of Knocklyon Park @SaveKnocklyonPk]

Not just #microplastics but #macroplastics to worry about! It shouldn't shock that synthetic, unrecyclable plastics brushed full of used tyre waste are polluting, but it's shocking they're still being installed- even on existing grass pitches! @sdublincoco !

"Fibres from artificial grass make up 15% of #plastic pieces found in samples of seawater near Barcelona"

Sickening.

It. Should. Be. Banned.

[Friends of Knocklyon Park @SaveKnocklyonPk]

Great discussion on Today with Claire Byrne regarding the negatives of astro pitches! @sdublincoco please leave the biodiversity of Knocklyon Park alone and spend the money on other, wanted sports facilities. Even the local GAA club don't want an astro here!

[Friends of Knocklyon Park @SaveKnocklyonPk]

Fantastic article- sports pitches are vitally important but astropitches are polluting, toxic, disliked by many players+ facing an EU ban. Replacing an excellent gras pitch in a nature park with 3 acres of plastic is madness! No-one wants this here! @sdublincoco @Bodengaa

[TheJournal.ie @thejournal_ie]

Habitat loss and microplastic pollution from the explosion of artificial sports pitches in Dublin is provoking serious concern during the biodiversity crisis.
