People will benefit from less pollution and less noise. Therefore your health will benefit. Your grass will benefit as reel cut lawns produce greener and healthier grass.

Reel Mowers Cut Down Pollution
Winner of the LiveEarth/MSN video contest! To fight climate change in our backyard, we use a reel mower to cut the grass. I made this video with my 8-year-old son Carrick to show the reasons why it makes sense to switch to this smart alternative.

- I was reading this article just the other day on investing green. I can remember not long ago when the main argument companies and individuals had for not living and doing business in a more environmentally way was because of financial reasons. It simply wasn't cost effective to do so. Now, not only is it the "politically correct" thing to do for investors to "invest green", but even investors who completely disagree with the environmental issue all together are now investing green simply because of the financial benefits! If we're lucky, we're on the verge of seeing a green revolution, causing a massive cleanup of our planet within our lifetime!

- I'm so glad to see sites and lenses like this! It's a shame that it takes an economic crisis and $4 per gallon gasoline to get us all talking about different types of green technology. We need more and more and more of this kind of exposure in order to get green thinking more into the mainstream!
Thanks for the Green Lens!
