Eco-Friendly Lawn Mowers

Lean Green Cutting Machines

The EPA's 2007 announcement that lawn mowers contribute 5 percent of our country's greenhouse gas emissions didn't shock those of us who inhale the fumes as we yank the pull-cord every weekend. Thanks in part to stricter California emissions regulations that took effect last year, manufacturers are scrambling to make powered mowers that pollute less. The machines here not only spew fewer (or zero) emissions, they're cheaper to run and quieter too—something your neighbors will like if they sleep late on Saturday mornings.
