Your point of view is basically not the laws as they stand today. You can go to a farm supply store and buy a fairly large amount of 24D and spray your lawn if you want to. It's up to you to read the label and mix as needed. But more importantly, "causing environmental contamination" is also basically pretty hands off in America. When Obama tried to do some water reform it failed to stick. Today a farmer has to opt in to the idea of providing adequate buffers to help cleanup runoff and make streams improve. We know a lot more about how to improve things but it is not really enforced. You choose to do so and get your CRP payments. A LOT of large dairy/feedlots will get approved, and water and aquifer quality is barely a concern in most "ag" states in America. The rivers will tell the truth. And one household and their lawn doesn't have much to do with it. They probably aren't over spraying herbicides or fertilizing to the same degree.
