It just needs a blanket ban. like more obvious environmental vandalism such as fly tipping or dumping sewage, leeching microplastics into the soil and water systems ought to be seen for what it is.
Apart from the possible exception of indoor sports pitches I agree wholeheartedly.
Also all council maintained verges and roundabouts should be mandated for native wildflowers (and certainly not those horrible little bushes you find in industrial estates that flower with empty crisp packets).

Not so much WTF that they are striking weeds on plastic grass - more that they use plastic grass in the first place.
Anyone using plastic grass should take a long, hard look at their soul.
