Many people have a green lawn. Most equipment to maintain that lawn is not green at all. These dirty little devices produce about 5% on all air pollution.

The lawn equipment many people have are small 2 stroke gas engines. A few have 4 stroke engine. The big question is why ? You can many times get electric mowers and leaf blowers. This is much cleaner and safer.

Think about it, a can of gas in your garage has the explosion power of 2 sticks of TNT !! You have to tune up these little engines, change the oil and start them for each use. Isn't electric much better ?

I often wonder why major farming companies insist on using chemicals fertilizers to try to enrich the soil in the ground that is otherwise dead yet somehow produces the food we eat. Wouldn't it be great if we could turn the hands of time back to the way farming was done at the turn of the Century?
