“Reel (push) mowers have been around for many years, but have been all but replaced by the ubiquitous gas-powered rotary lawn mowers. Per hour of operation, however, a gas lawn mower emits 10-12 times as much hydrocarbon as a typical auto. To reduce the environmental cost of lawn mowing, a new generation of reel mowers has been designed which operate much more effectively than the old push mowers, and with zero impact on the environment.”
