Local experts explain how rapid freeze/thaw swings can stress turf and why winter protection steps matter now.

DALLAS, Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Winter in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is known for erratic temperature swings that place significant stress on local lawns. This year, homeowners have already seen afternoons in the 60s followed by overnight drops into the 20s. These sudden shifts cause turf to briefly “wake up” before being hit by freezing temperatures again, resulting in widespread winter injury.

Understanding Seasonal Turf Stress

Warm periods can trigger turf respiration and slight “green-up.” However, when temperatures plunge, the rapid freeze can damage plant cells and roots. Additionally, the region experiences extended winter dry spells, which increase dehydration and compound stress. Last winter, DFW recorded more than a dozen freeze/thaw cycles, highlighting the urgency of proper winter care.

The Role of Growth Inhibitors

Dr. Green Services applies winter growth inhibitors to help stabilize turf during these unpredictable temperature swings. These treatments keep grass in a consistent dormant state, preventing repeated transitions in and out of growth. This proactive approach reduces shock, conserves plant resources, and prevents turf decline that often becomes visible in early spring. This technique underscores Dr. Green Services’ commitment to preventing damage before it occurs.

Challenges for Texas Turf Types

Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Zoysia grass varieties are especially vulnerable to freeze/thaw swings and drought conditions. Because these warm-season grasses are not adapted to rapid winter temperature fluctuations, they require additional protection during January and February.

Expert Insights

“Our unpredictable climate makes dormancy protection essential,” said James Tatum, Director of Operations at Dr. Green Services. “Growth inhibitors give turf the stability it needs to survive winter stress and come back stronger in spring.” With decades of local expertise, Dr. Green Services continues to help DFW homeowners protect their lawns from extreme weather patterns.

Recommended Actions for Homeowners

Homeowners can help reduce winter stress by lightly watering during extended warm spells, avoiding heavy foot traffic on frozen turf, and scheduling winter monitoring. Following Dr. Green Services’ guidance can further reduce weather-related turf damage.

Dr. Green Services’ Comprehensive Care

Beyond growth inhibitor applications, Dr. Green Services provides winter turf monitoring and region-specific programs designed around DFW’s climate challenges.

Preventing Spring Damage

By taking preventive steps now, homeowners can avoid costly spring recovery and ensure healthier grass when temperatures rise. Dr. Green Services remains committed to protecting local lawns through expert guidance and proactive winter treatments.

This article is co-authored by Karin De Bondt, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, Trane Technologies and Elena Giannakopoulou, Chief Strategy Officer, Public Power Corporation.

Today, it is estimated that 30% of electricity is being wasted in the built environment. This is much bigger than leaving the lights on; it’s the result of complex systems operating inefficiently, equating to hundreds of billions of dollars per year in waste.

As new technology changes how we produce and consume energy, suppliers and demand-side consumers need to collaborate to increase efficiency and resiliency while reducing environmental impact.

The rise of renewables

The power system is undergoing a rapid and unprecedented transformation. According to energy think tank Ember, in 2024, clean power generated more than 40% of the world’s electricity, driven by record growth in renewables, particularly solar energy.

The rapid scale-up of renewables shows no signs of slowing, driven by the cost-competitiveness of solar photovoltaics and wind, and reinforced by energy security concerns, especially in regions such as Europe. Yet, with greater renewable energy penetration, energy production becomes more volatile.

Solar output peaks at midday, wind peaks overnight and hydropower fluctuates with droughts – this is when flexibility comes into play. While this was manageable when renewable energy solutions played only a minor role in power generation, this now becomes a crucial issue when renewables form the backbone of the system.

For example, in Greece, renewables with 28.7 terawatt-hours (TWh) accounted for 55% of total electricity generated in 2024, a more than twofold increase from the 11.5 TWh and a 22% share in 2019, according to the system operator’s data.

Flexibility in the power system refers to its ability to adapt quickly to new circumstances. It comes from storage (both in the form of batteries and pump-hydro plants), flexible generation, interconnectivity, smart grids, demand-side response, energy management and digital infrastructure.

Without flexibility, the system hits a ceiling; no matter how cheap clean energy gets, its value diminishes if it can’t be fully utilized.

Flexible assets directly address this inefficiency, turning volatility into value. The case is clear: flexibility reduces curtailment, increases renewable energy penetration and lowers total system costs.

Technologies that provide flexibility are increasingly mature and highly cost-effective. Lithium-ion batteries have seen sharp cost declines with pack prices dropping just over 90% since 2010, according to BloombergNEF.

Globally, investments in flexibility are on the rise. In 2024, energy storage, for instance, saw approximately $54 billion of investments, a 35% increase from 2023, according to BloombergNEF.

A report from SolarPower Europe estimates that deploying flexible technologies alongside solar could lead to annual net system cost savings of €32 billion by 2030.

Innovation, a demand-side accelerator

Flexibility on the supply side is crucial but the demand side holds untapped potential. Smart meters, demand response programs and energy efficiency technologies are enabling businesses and consumers to actively contribute to grid stability and optimization.

Flexibility on the demand side involves adjusting energy consumption based on optimal load points, availability and price. This can be achieved through various technologies and strategies:

  • Systems design and innovation: Buildings are large energy consumers. Advanced thermal systems in buildings that integrate heating, cooling and controls can greatly improve efficiency and flexibility. All-electric systems use three to four times less energy than conventional methods, cut costs and boost returns. Storage systems such as ice storage can also lower bills by shifting energy use to off-peak hours.
     
  • Utilization of AI to optimize efficiency: Digital tools and artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance heating and cooling systems, making them smarter, more flexible and more efficient. By using data from buildings and weather forecasts, AI optimizes energy use, cuts costs and reduces electricity demand across multiple buildings. AI-driven energy management systems in commercial buildings can reduce energy consumption by up to 20%.

Electrification and AI are part of the equation, helping relieve pressure on the grid at peak times. Thermal management systems are helping to decarbonize buildings large enough to have their own zip code, and they can work in smaller buildings to save energy and cost.

Research into physics-informed neural networks, automated control and data infrastructure will accelerate energy optimization and sustainable impact. These innovations make economic sense and there is reason for optimism.

Making energy more affordable and resilient

Every megawatt-hour of energy, especially clean electricity, is too valuable to waste – doing so is a missed opportunity for efficiency, growth and climate action. Flexibility in both energy supply and demand not only helps consumers reduce energy and costs but also supports grid security and sustainability.

To fully realize the benefits of flexibility, regulatory frameworks must incentivize its monetization. Dynamic pricing of electricity better captures system variability and rewards the fast response of flexibility sources.

Grid modernization and digitalization are crucial for integrating distributed resources, while planning processes must prioritize system-wide efficiency. This will reveal the true value of flexibility, reduce fossil fuel dependence and improve the resilience of modern power systems while delivering affordable electricity to consumers.

With exciting progress in innovation and research, and the technology, talent and commitment to solve these challenges together, we can create a more flexible, efficient and resilient energy ecosystem.

Nation’s Leading Flexible Packaging Company for Produce Leads Sustainability Charge by Replacing Virgin Plastic with Post-Consumer Recycled Material (PCR)

UNION CITY, Calif., Dec. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Emerald Packaging, the largest supplier of retail flexible packaging for the produce industry, today announced a significant sustainability milestone. Over the past year, the company has replaced over one million pounds of virgin polyethylene (PE) with post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, marking a step forward towards establishing a circular economy and sustainability for flexible plastic packaging. 

Emerald Packaging’s shift toward PCR directly supports the sustainability goals of many of its food industry partners. Most recently, Emerald Packaging partnered with Idaho Package, Wada Farms and Walmart to introduce the first 30 percent food contact PCR bag for the potato category. This project pushed the limits of PCR, given the exacting standards potato bags must meet, like impact resistance. This initiative aligns with Walmart’s Project Gigaton, targeting a one billion metric ton emission reduction by 2030. To date, Walmart has eliminated more than 200,000 pounds of virgin plastic in its potato packaging.

D’Arrigo Bros. of California, the country’s largest romaine shipper, was the first to partner with Emerald. The companies rolled out PCR bags across D’Arrigo’s entire product line, including romaine lettuce hearts and iceberg lettuce. The bags are 30 percent food contact PCR, and have eliminated over 600,000 pounds of virgin plastic from the supply chain. 

“This milestone reflects Emerald Packaging’s deep commitment to the environment and our technical ability to deliver high-quality packaging while reducing the reliance on virgin plastics,” said Kevin Kelly, CEO of Emerald Packaging. “We’ve worked closely with our supply chain partners and customers to make PCR a viable and scalable part of our product offerings for those who are seeking sustainable options that meet performance standards without compromising environmental values.” 

Integrating PCR materials not only diverts plastic waste from landfills but also significantly reduces the carbon emissions associated with the production of virgin plastic. According to a 2004 study by University of California scientists, increasing the use of PCR has the most significant impact on waste plastic tonnage and GHG reduction compared to any other possible environmental action.

With over six decades at the forefront of produce packaging innovation, Emerald Packaging is the largest plastic packaging manufacturer for produce in the U.S. For more than 20 years, Emerald Packaging has led industry efforts to address plastic waste, most recently helping shape legislation in California that addresses the need for a better recycling infrastructure. Emerald is one of the few manufacturers to win a Green Business certification for its waste, water, and energy reduction efforts.
