Manual Lawn Mowers - Better For Your Planet, Your Wallet, and Your Health

It may seem dated, but there are many reasons to consider replacing your gasoline-powered lawnmower with a good old-fashioned push lawn mower:

Save money because push lawn mowers don’t use gas
Save money because push lawn mowers are inexpensive
Save the planet because you will greatly reduce your carbon footprint with a push mower
Enjoy the process more because push mowers are not noisy
Decrease risk of injury because push lawn mowers are easy and safe
Never worry whether or not your push mower will start
Improve your health and fitness by pushing the push mower

Of course, if you have a huge lawn, the push mower is not for you. However, if your yard is a manageable size, I urge you to consider getting a push lawn mower. The push mowers are easy to obtain online; here are a couple that received good reviews:

In the spirit of full disclosure, I should tell you the LuSHHus lawn mower is a gas-guzzler (it was actually passed down from my father-in-law.) The need to replace the LuSHHus lawn mower will soon be upon us, and I look forward to talking to Mr. LuSHHus about the benefits of a push mower. An added benefit for him: I’d be a lot more willing to use the push mower than the noisy, big, gas-powered one we currently have!

Cheers!
