When eco friendly goes to far
Vicki Wozniak lives near Philadelphia and has designed her 1/8 acre garden to be eco friendly; this is mainly to attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other flying creatures. This would not be hard as it is full of sunflowers, azaleas and honeysuckle, along with many other plants, sounds good! But that is not what the local authorities think.
They believe that she is failing to maintain her property and is due in court on the 28th August.
Apparently there are many people in New Jersey who believe that the eco friendly garden is a nice way to help the environment and encourage wild life, yet the local officials have been out in force checking that lawns are nice and neat, and flower beds are kept in their place. This is just a classic example of bureaucracy gone mad.
With an attitude like, you can save the world, but not in your back yard, nice!
