高温致草坪枯黄 屋主喷漆应对
<p>今夏，美国各地遭遇高温天气，各家的草坪也因此变得枯黄，甚至干死。不过，纽约和新泽西州一些社区的草坪却格外翠绿，原因是他们的主人给这些草坪喷了纯植物的绿漆。据悉，这种喷漆为可生物降解性质，是从植物中提取、无毒的草坪颜料，每平方米的喷涂价格为1.61美元；除草坪外，还可用于灌木和树木的喷涂。如果草坪的草确已干死，喷涂的绿色可一直持续到次年春天新草长出；若是草坪还在生长，那么要等草坪割过两三次以后颜料才会消褪。随着高温干旱天气的持续，草坪喷涂服务的需求不断增长，而且人们的要求也不限于草坪绿色。据悉，曾有客户要求在美国独立日前将自家草坪喷成美国国旗的颜色。不过，该业务发起人表示，目前还没有研制出红色和蓝色的颜料，不过可能性还是有的。</p><p><span word="Despite">Despite</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="summer">summer</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="persistent">persistent</span> <span word="heat">heat</span> <span word="waves">waves</span>, <span word="the">the</span> <span word="grass">grass</span> <span word="really">really</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="greener">greener</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="some">some</span> <span word="neighborhoods">neighborhoods</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="New">New</span> <span word="York">York</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="New">New</span> <span word="Jersey">Jersey</span>.</p><p><span word="Homeowners">Homeowners</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="brown">brown</span>, <span word="dried">dried</span>-<span word="up">up</span> <span word="lawns">lawns</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="turning">turning</span> <span word="to">to</span> "<span word="lawn">lawn</span> <span word="painting">painting</span>" <span word="to">to</span> <span word="liven">liven</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="their">their</span> <span word="yards">yards</span>.</p><p><span word="Business">Business</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="booming">booming</span>, <span word="according">according</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="Joe">Joe</span> <span word="Perazzo">Perazzo</span>, <span word="who">who</span> <span word="launched">launched</span> <span word="his">his</span> <span word="lawn">lawn</span> <span word="painting">painting</span> <span word="company">company</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="New">New</span> <span word="York">York</span>'<span word="s">s</span> <span word="most">most</span> <span word="suburban">suburban</span> <span word="borough">borough</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="Staten">Staten</span> <span word="Island">Island</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="few">few</span> <span word="years">years</span> <span word="ago">ago</span>, <span word="inspired">inspired</span> <span word="by">by</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="tinting">tinting</span> <span word="process">process</span> <span word="used">used</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="color">color</span> <span word="professional">professional</span> <span word="athletic">athletic</span> <span word="fields">fields</span>. <span word="Other">Other</span> <span word="companies">companies</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="sprung">sprung</span> <span word="up">up</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="region">region</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="elsewhere">elsewhere</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="country">country</span>.</p>
