" If you are concerned about the human impact on our plant's climate, reducing the amount of lawn you mow each week is one of the best things you can do to reduce your family's carbon dioxide emissions. On average, mowing your lawn for one hour produces as much pollution as driving 650 miles. Moreover, we now burn 800 million gallons of gas each year in our dirty little lawnmower engines to keep our lawns at bay. "
