If you have a big yard and find it more expedient to use a gas powered lawn mower rather than a push reel mower, you can still help the environment by keeping your mower blades as sharp as possible.

Dull blades tear through your grass rather than cutting it, leaving it considerably more damaged than sharp blades do. This makes your lawn less able to resist disease and drought. Plus, sharp blades cut the grass more easily and efficiently, saving on gas, thereby cutting down on pollution. As an attractive side benefit, efficient mowing gets you in out of the hot sun more quickly.
