It is easy to pontificate about how wrong lawns are it is another to back it up with scientific proof. Can anyone do that?

Not saying that lawns are the sole cause -- they are merely ONE cause, and one that seems to be gaining momentum with the proliferation of McMansions around the Lake. Boats, gas spills, septic systems -- they all contribute. And let's not forget the introduction of non-native aquatic vegetation (Milfoil) and species (zebra mussels, rock bass, etc.). I guess the only constant is change -- too bad most of the bad change in the Lake has been happening so quickly over the past 10-20 years. The decline in water quality is alarming.
