Most mowing is in urban areas, where pollution is the worst and where

The habitat of many animals is disturbed by mowing.


I live in the middle of Phoenix and have clover lawns that I cut with
a hand push mower three days a week. Some of my neighbors use sheep,
goats, or lamas for their lawns. How are we doing?

Lamas smoke grass; Llamas eat grass.
