Sustainable Baby Steps: Lawn Mowing

If you’re in a climate that easily supports grass, you are faced with the task of mowing. Why not skip the gas or electric version and opt for a push mower?

Push mowers last longer (you can sharpen dull blades easily to prolong its life), leave the cut grass behind which decomposes into fertilizer and are inexpensive. A push mower can be purchased new for around $70. Or check your local Craigslist or Ebay for a used deal.

If you already have a gas or electric mower and cannot yet invest in a man-powered model, try mowing less often to decrease your energy usage and emissions output.
