The Chelsea Flower Show has banned fake grass from this year’s event, declaring it to be not part of its ethos.

切尔西花展已禁止今年的展会使用假草坪，宣称它不符合花展的理念。

Ed Horne, of the RHS, said: “We launched our sustainability strategy last year and fake grass is just not in line with our ethos and views on plastic.

皇家园艺学会的埃德·霍恩说：“我们去年启动了可持续发展战略，而假草坪根本不符合我们的理念以及我们对塑料的看法。

The RHS’s decision comes as campaigners try to raise awareness of the problems fake grass causes.

However, supporters of fake grass point out that there is also an environmental impact with natural lawns, which need mowing and therefore usually consume electricity or petrol.

然而，假草坪的支持者指出，天然草坪同样会对环境造成影响，因为它们需要修剪，因此通常要消耗电力或汽油。

The industry also points out that real grass requires considerable amounts of water, weed killer or other treatments and that people who lay fake grass tend to use their garden more.

该行业还指出，真草需要大量的水、除草剂或其他养护处理，而且铺设假草坪的人往往更多地使用自己的花园。

The industry also claims that people who lay fake grass spend an average of £500 on trees or shrubs for their garden, which provides habitat for insects.

该行业还声称，铺设假草坪的人平均会花500英镑为花园购买树木或灌木，这为昆虫提供了栖息地。
