Regarding the environment....
Came across this while shopping online for a lawn mower.
"The EPA estimates that of the 800 million gallons of gas used to fuel lawn mowers in the U.S. every year, about 17 million gallons are spilled, which can contaminate ground water.

If I ever have a house, I'm getting a manual mower.
Seriously, they are so 1960.

Re: Regarding the environment....
Yet another good reason to go electric/battery. I just got myself an electric Black and Decker a few weeks ago that was the highest rated on Consumer Reports for it's type.
For smallish lawns, you don't need a gas mower. But it's common, and easy, so people will do what they want.

I wish my mom's lawn wasn't so F'in HUGE. I would love to mow that sucker with an electric or manual...
but neither will do when the grass itself is over a 1/2 acre
