CO2 is the heaviest gas in our atmosphere and stays at ground level. Added benefit is that trees, grass and fauna love it!! My gas-powered mower helps the environment.

It sounds like the debate a number of years ago that was over cloth diapers or those derived from cellulose. (Trees) When you consider all the factors that came with cleansing the diapers for reuse they turned out to be way more expensive. Besides who wants to live in a city with a yard of less than 1/4 acre? You might as well live in the concrete jungle where the rooms are stacked on top of each other in large buildings and hope the infrastructure for food and water are never disrupted. Let alone sanitary services.

Please Include Rechargeable Electrics!!!

I stopped using a gas mower years ago in favor of a Black & Decker Cordless Rechargeble Electric mower which is non-polluting, affordable, maintenance-free except for blades, economical, and very easy to use without a cord, gasoline, oil, etc... While a rotary may be the choice for Greenies, I consider myself a Limey a little paler by comparison but on the same highway!!!
