Serious Issues
• Loss of insect environments causing lack of pollination.
• Loss of bird and fish environments
• Loss of agricultural crops
• Effects on water tables and coastal regions
• Approximately 6000 growers currently effected

Insect Extinction
• Large amounts of dead insects found around planted areas

Insect Extinction
• Large amounts of dead insects found around planted areas
• The birds depending on these insects are losing large numbers

Insect Extinction
• Large amounts of dead insects found around planted areas
• The birds depending on these insects are losing large numbers
• Entire coastal areas are losing fish life near planted areas

Agricultural Losses
• Entire fields of crops are found withering on the vines

Agricultural Losses

Agricultural Losses
• Entire fields of crops are found withering on the vines
• Even root produce shows signs of blight and is not harvestable

Agricultural Losses
• Entire fields of crops are found withering on the vines
• Even root produce shows signs of blight and is not harvestable
• Scale is growing into “disaster” proportion

Agricultural Losses
initial reporting of problems centered around Florida; however today there are reports worldwide wherever WWL has installed their grass systems

Effects on water tables
• Water tables are becoming shallow and non-existent; wherever WWL Lawn Systems; because the root system of the WWL grass is almost non-existent

Effects on water tables
• NO root system causes entire fields to completely dry up
![Page 14: Agricultural Growers of America](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051622/568157c2550346895dc54529/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Effects on water tables
• NO root system causes entire fields to completely dry up…causing entire fields to lose precious irrigation sources

This ecological disaster will take approx. 7 years to reverse…the losses
continue to build daily…
