In the News: "Be Green
Organic Yards NY" - New Program
Sponsored by New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation
On the heels the Child Safe Playing Act that requires
all NY schools, preschools, and day care centers both
public and private to stop using pesticides on any
playground or playing field, the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) announced
their own "Be Green Organic Yards NY" program
Having a truly "green" lawn will get easier with the
help of the new "Be Green Organic Yards, NY" initiative
announced by New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Pete Grannis.
DEC's new "Be Green" program will promote training and
licensing of organic yard care providers. Homeowners
will be able to find lawn care companies to provide
organic yard management by looking for the Be Green
logo. DEC will work with:
-Qualified trainers to offer courses in Be Green organic
yard care.
-Lawn-care services and landscapers to enroll and be
tested for their knowledge of organic practices.
-Eligible landscapers and courses provides to enter into
license agreements with DEC to use the special be Green
Logo in advertising organic services.
Consumers will be able to search a list of local Be
Green qualified yard care and landscaping companies on
DEC's website. Consumers will have assurance that a
licensed Be Green service provider will not engage in
practices or use products that are considered by DEC to
be inconsistent with organic yard care.
"Demand for all types of organic services is on the rise
as people continue to be concerned about the amounts and
types of chemicals used in everyday tasks. At the same
time, consumers are sometimes unsure what 'green' means,
Commissioner Grannis said. "With the new 'Be Green'
initiative, the state will provide a way for
specifically trained yard care companies to use the
special logo when they offer organic yard management.
The initiative will connect consumers with names of
qualified companies. The goal of 'Be Green' is to help
create an organically managed environment for people,
pets wildlife and plants."
