Comments on: Saving Gas and It’s Good for You Too! http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2006/05/saving-gas-and-its-good-for-you-too/ Our Journey to a Debt-Free Life Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:10:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Richard http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2006/05/saving-gas-and-its-good-for-you-too/comment-page-1/#comment-487290 Richard Thu, 26 Jun 2008 23:20:48 +0000 http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/?p=188#comment-487290 This is a pretty old post but I just stumbled on it. We have a reed mower, and the main downside for me is that you can't let the grass get too long before you mow. After a certain height it's like chopping down a tree with a butter knife. As long as I do it weekly or biweekly (depending on how much rain we got) it's alright though. This is a pretty old post but I just stumbled on it.

We are an environmentally friendly family (emissions-wise). We drive a fuel-efficient car (Toyota Echo), we use a reel mower and we have an electric weed wacker. It turns out that all of those decisions also save us money ;) Hmm…I just thought about it a little bit. We are an environmentally friendly family (emissions-wise).

I never liked emptying the mower bag. Yuck. Also non-point sources of emissions are hard to control and most NPS's are gas motors which move around, ie cars, leaf/snowblowers, mowers, etc. So you're saving the environment from greenhouse gasses too!
