China caught spray-painting grass green
Parts of China are artificially spray-painted green in an attempt to beautify the county’s landscapes, sources reported.
Workers in China’s southwestern city of Chengdu’s landscaping department were spotted spray-painting Top Green Turf Greening Agent’s green spray on yellow grass, according to Chinese sources.
The landscaping department declined to comment on its use of spray paint, but said the chemical included nutrients to keep grass alive during the winter.
According to Top Green employees, the chemical includes neither toxic materials nor nutrients in its product. The company said it has been selling the spray to many different governments as well.
“We have been selling it to the Chengdu government for at least five or six years, and we have lots of other government clients, like the city of Tanjin, and many northwestern provinces,” said a Top Green salesman.
This is not the first time China has artificially beautified the country’s landscapes. Mountains have also been colored to look green from distance.
