Great Healthy Yard Project Inc

The Great Healthy Yard Project is an environmental nonprofit founded by physician Diane Lewis in Bedford, New York, working to protect drinking water quality by getting synthetic chemicals off residential yards. It treats residential non-point source pollution as the country's most widespread water quality problem, arguing that lawn chemicals and drain-disposed pharmaceuticals pass through routine water treatment. The organization measures its reach through a public pledge to avoid synthetic pesticides, weedkillers, and fertilizers except for rare localized use.
