Santa Clara County supervisors are considering a ban on artificial turf. They've commissioned a study of the environmental, health and safety concerns surrounding it.Parent Meghna Varma says her son hates the stuff. "On hot summer days, it's hot and if you fall it hurts. So he's complained about it a fair bit," she says.But for the group Mothers Out Front Silicon Valley, the issue is bigger than just that.
"If we go to the extremes that are being discussed of removing every artificial turf field around, we need probably three to four times as many grass fields in order to have the same level of access," says Sandra Todd, a board member with the non-profit that runs the Morgan Hill Outdoor Sports Center.Todd has been a youth sports organizer for 20 years. She says turf fields can handle more kids, more often, under harsher conditions.
