??? One small paragraph on the benefits of lawns, which outweigh all the detriments. Lawns don’t need to be watered or fertilized unless they’re grown in an area that doesn’t naturally support grassland, like the desert. And one semi-trailer truck dumps more pollutants into the air each time it starts up in first gear than 100 lawn mowers working for an hour each.
I am a gardener who is giving up on gas and electric machinery.I use push mowers,hand tools,ladders,brooms and no use of pesticides.
Just want to do what I can to help combat the noise and air pollution that may cause deadly issues of the near future.
Good for you, Eco-. Glad to see you mentioned noise as a pollutant-frequently overlooked. Using man-power also helps keep you in shape. Who needs the health club?
