1000 Flowers for the Planet - #515 Use a Push Mower
Lawn mowers
use petrol or electricity (fossil fuels), and are noisy (noise pollution) and
smelly (air pollution). In many instances they are an evil necessity, but if
you only have a small amount of grass that needs to be cut, consider using a
push mower. These were the first types of lawn mower, and by using one you
would be generating lots of benefits. For the person pushing the mower there is
the benefit of exercise, a good workout that will assist in keeping fit and
healthy, which has so many knock-on effects. Neighbours will benefit by the
reduced noise pollution and air pollution – you can even mow the lawn in the early
hours of a Sunday morning without making your neighbours cranky. The
environment will benefit because you will not be using fossil fuels to make the
mower work, there will be no carbon emissions, and fewer resources are used. A
push mower should also last a lifetime because there are few parts to break
down and the blades can be sharpened. His saves even more resources as well as
saving you money. Lots of benefits all round.
