Mowing Grass

Posted by admin on April 16, 2009

Today’s green tip is about your lawn and how you mow it.

I used to use an old reel mower when I had a lawn to cut even before “green” was the way of life.
The smell of gas makes me sick…migraine and stomach ache.
People used to comment and wonder why I’d use such an “old fashioned” way of mowing the grass, until I told them the benefits!
And, now it’s even better because companies like Eco Mowers have an easier to use reel mower than the clunker I used to use.

Did you know that if you use a reel mower you cut gas waste. Annually Americans use approximately 800 millions gallons of gas just mowing their lawn! Not to mention the countless gallons that people spill when filling their mowers.

Using a reel mower cuts down on air pollution. Regular gas mowers contribute to about 5% of the air pollution in the USA.

Reel mowers are silent, so don’t add to the noise pollution like gas mowers do.

You’ll burn more calories using a reel mower than a gas mower.

So, it’s a win win win situation.
