electric lawn mowers?
 

g'day claude,

yes mate a popular misconception used by manufacturers and others to
sell product there is also the bit that there is far more plastic used
in the electric mowers than other mowers and with the battery models
what about disposal of the battery?

and the pollution caused by power stations is dumped on land that is
used to grow our food, the out of sight out of mind concept applies.



snipped
With peace and brightest of blessings,

len

mine is a bosch electric roller mower.
it has hardly any plastic and is much better than a pull start mower.

that would be the www.enviromower.com.au

also heard good things about it.

Hmmmm......Is it as environmentally friendly as they claim? It requires
recharging by mains electricity which in Australia is
generated by burning coal. In Victoria, the green house gas
emissions from electricity (generated from brown coal) are much
greater than those from the transport sector. Probably no better
environmentally than a petrol mower and perhaps worse.

Unlikely given how crude small petrol motors are environmentally.

The environmentally superior alternative is a push mower or, better, a native
garden that needs neither cutting nor watering.

Indeed, I didnt even bother to water mine thru the worst drought
in living memory. Amazing how well it did with no water at all.
