Mowing your lawn for one hour with a conventional gasoline- powered lawn mower can cause more air pollution than driving for 150 miles. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a high percentage of all summertime emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by lawn and garden equipment. VOCs form ozone and smog that contribute to breathing problems and asthma.

According to Consumer Reports, if you have a small grassy area - a quarter acre or less - you can have a groomed lawn without the mess and hassle of a gas mower. Additionally, several cleaner cutting electric mowers let you say goodbye to pull-starting, fueling and fumes. Electric mowers work well for small to medium lawns.

By purchasing a manual, electric or rechargeable cordless lawn mower, you will save time and money and help the environment.
