Reel Mowers Cut Down Pollution

Leave a Comment

 

Check out this 9 year old kid, Carrick. He gives the low down on how reel mowers reduce pollution. This kid is gaining popularity on his eco video series, even landing a spot on the Bonnie Hunt Show. This kid seems pretty smart, and you have to give him credit for putting this video out there. Here are his points in the video for why to use a reel mower to mow the lawn:

  • Five percent of the nation’s air pollution is from gas mowers.
  • The pollution of 11 cars is about the same as the pollution from using a gas mower for an hour.
  • One third of the gas of gas mowers is released as air pollution.
  • Gas spills are common with gas powered lawn equipment– 17 million gallons, in fact, and is more than the Valdez spilled in the Gulf of Alaska.
  • Cheaper and quieter than a gas mower, and requires no gasoline.

    • He does his research, that’s for sure. Pretty impressive coming from a kid! And worth a watch to give this little guy some credit.
