Think your car is the only gas hog in your garage? Not unless you have an electric or a push lawnmower.  Lawnmowers use 800 million gallons of gas a year making them responsible for 5-10% of our smog pollution. Also, the EPA has estimated that we spill a collective 17 million gallons of gas while we’re trying to refill our lawn equipment every year. That’s more than the Exxon Valdez oil spill! Look into an inexpensive push mower and as added bonus burn some calories while you mow.
