My mower took a crap on me today, the nasty, noisy, death-belching thing....so I'm spending money that I don't have to put my wallet where my mouth is. I ordered a battery-powered mower online called the Neuton (I'm not linking to keep this from getting too salesy). It sucks that I have to go into hock to go green, but the thing only uses about 10cents worth of electricity/use and emits no fumes and little noise (I saw the informational vid). I live in the boondocks by loggers and knuckle-draggers, but if any of you out there are by a collective of green minded people, it might be a good idea to go in on a similar model together and share it. Support companies that are making the gradual change to eco-friendly products. If you have to keep up with the Joneses, do it with a clean conscience...at least until the bamboo takes over (my last, slow-going effort).
