Try using a reel mower. It uses no gas at all. It's powered by you pushing it. It doesn't pollute the air and makes very little noise. It cuts well too. Check out David Wharton's opinion of his here:

Scroll about 3/4 of the way down the page to the post called "Reel Mowing."

Paul, Excellent idea for folks with less than an acre to mow. The benefit of the exercise alone will save hundreds on gym or health club memberships. And no gas needed if you are not driving to one of those places.

I really don't want to trim my trees. Can I get a girafee?

"...perhaps the city will lift the farm animals restriction and let us have goats, sheep, cows and horses. This will save not only gas, but also decrease air and noise pollution."

"The average cow’s digestive tract releases 600 liters of methane per day—enough to fill 40 party balloons."

So much for air and noise pollution, huh? Don't get a cow!! ;)

Sheep and goats are cute. (Shouldn't that be sheepS and goats? I know, I know, but it just doesn't sound right the other way...)

Missy, I bet those party balloons wouldn't smell too good. Maybe we could find a way to capture the cow methane and use it for fuel. That would keep things moooooooving after we run out of gas.

The same eco-terrorist,who scream about gasoline engines, drilling in Alaska and the coast plus nuclear fuels would be screaming that the cows and horses are creating too much air pollution and will certainly bring about the next ice age in the next 50 years. So fergit the cows and horses and start walking.

"So fergit the cows and horses and start walking."

Mr. P: Pamela suggested that we get farm animals to eat our grass, not that we ride around on them! Imagine what my neighbors would think if I started riding around on my hypothetical goats and sheep[s].

[Missy smiles and laughs at Mr. P's silliness...]

Dan: You're welcome to try to find a way to capture the cows' methane, and I'll look forward to the comedy that will inevitably ensue. ;)

Mr. Produce,

You're not joking. A lot of them are already screaming about that.

Missy, riding them, or having them eat grass. No difference except I put mine to work a little more efficiently. They can eat all the grass they want in my yard but they are going to earn their supper. The results would be the same and the same folks would be screaming, global cooling, or warming, or whatever next they dream up. It seems it changes about every 30 years or so to suit a new agenda.

Missy, your goats can pull your little red wagon.

Mr. P, How did you know about my little red wagon!?!?

Missy, you would be surprised what I see from my black helicoptor and as they once said on a famous radio program, "only the shadow knows".

hahahahhaahhha. This is entertainment.
Please keep this discussion going..
*hides my goats and farm animals*

Won't do any good to hide them goats and farm animals Lilly. With my special X-ray vision scope on my black helicoptor I can see through the roof, through walls and even peer into dark rooms. You can run, but you can't hide from "the shadow".

Well hell mrp.. whatever shall I do now? LOL.
Oh I know.. *puts tinfoil on my sheep and farm animals* hahahaha.

Aww, but "the shadow knows" *followed by deep haunting laughter*

mrp, my sheep and cows said they aint skurrrred, but you better have a warrant when you arrive. LOL.

the black helicoptor don't need no warrant. * evil laughter ensues*
