Each year millions of pounds of toxic chemicals that are contained in common pesticides are poured on to approximately 40 million acres of lawn in the United States. In fact, we are crop dusting our own yards with these harmful chemicals at almost 10x the rate as industrial farms!
Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly Lawn Care
Coulter and Trent Lewis, brothers from Boulder, Colorado, have created an all-natural solution that is 100% non-toxic and eco-friendly. Using ingredients such as molasses, soy protein, potassium, and seaweed, the two Lewis brothers have developed a tailor-made, all-natural lawn product that will keep your pets, plants, family, and our planet safe. Sunday was established in the year 2018, raising over $3 million in a seed round directed by Forerunner. They picked up a few other impressive investors including Tusk Ventures, John Foraker, and Bullish.
Amazing Results Driven by Science
By using soil and climate data that is specific to each customer’s lawn, Sunday will select the necessary nutrients to keep your lawn looking healthy, spectacular, and lush. This is made possible thanks to the help of Frank Rossi, who is the Chief Science Operator at Sunday. Rossi achieved a PhD in turf science from the prominent Cornell University, and helps maintain some of the most well-known turfs in the world, including the famous Yankee Stadium!
Alarming Data Driven Conclusions
In 2018, Cornell University tested homes for powerful pesticides and herbicides that were known to be harmful to the environment. The results from that study were extremely alarming, considering that every single home that participated in the testing contained some combination of bifenthrin, pendimethalin, glyphosate, MCPP, and malathion – all chemicals that are toxic to mammals and/or insects. Our lawns are home to more than a couple plants, trees, and bushes. Birds, bees, and many more organisms (basically our entire ecosystem) are dependent on home lawns to survive and participate in the circle of life.
All-Natural Ingredients is the Key to Sunday’s Mission
The use of all-natural ingredients is the key to Sunday’s mission, which is to “support the whole eco-system for a beautiful lawn that’s full of life”. Shockingly, from the 30 pesticides that are most commonly used – 12 are linked to birth defects, 16 are potential carcinogens, and 29 are toxic to birds and bees. Birds and bees play such a large and important role to our planet’s ecosystem. With bees already facing the threat of extinction (which means extinction for us humans, as well!), it is now more important than ever to be cognizant of how we affect the organisms around us.
