  1. I think I have too big of a yard to ditch gas completely, because it would take me hours to mow it manually.

    However, I want to section off part of the yard and raise some goats and chickens, which will form a sort of natural lawn mower.

  2. I love the way these mowers look, and I love that they don’t make much noise at all.

  3. If you’re disabled, don’t really have time to mow the lawn or are just plain lazy, there’s also the option of getting a robotic lawn mower. While they do have their limitations, a (lazy) friend of mine is certainly pleased with his. Wired did an article on them:

    It’s an old article, but it’s still interesting.

    @Thomas: I have heard of a robotic lawn similar to the ones shown in your link that is solar powered as well.

    @Tiger: I do agree that larger lawns are impossible to cut with a simple manual push mower. There are larger models of mowers that are electric that are much more efficient than gas mowers. I have actually heard of using farm animals as a natural lawn mower. Even google is even using goats now:

  5. I agree with you completely that gas powered lawn mowers cause much more pollution than most people think. I remember when I used to have to mow my grandmas lawn and I was choking on the fumes caused by the gas mower. I wish I had one of those eco friendly lawn mowers back then.

  6. I switched to a natural lawn mower and I know it is helping the environment compared to a gas powered lawn mower. I agree that these lawn mowers look great, better than their gas powered counterparts.

  7. All electric mowers are the way to go if your lawn is small. However, for most lawns, the environmental AND practical choice would be the hybrid remote control lawn mowers from RemoteMower.com
