Are you joking?

If everyone in this country tried to grow as much food as they needed to eat, we would run out of land and STILL not have enough food to survive. Your “environmentally responsible” option would actually be more harmful to the environment than leaving our laws the same size. On top of that, farming is notorious for stripping minerals out of soils, preventing any further growth. Joe Shmoe can’t just make a farm in his backyard to feed his family with magical fruits. Not everybody lives in areas where farming is feasible. Not everybody knows how to farm. Not everybody has the economic means to begin farming. Do some research before you post your opinion as fact. I have never seen someone so ignorant on environmental issues try to lecture others on the environment

Oh, and you also talk about being environmentally responsible but then you say that we SHOULDN’T invest in a solar powered robotic lawnmower? This uses solar power and emits no sound pollution. Compare that to the push-mowers you are advocating, which use fossil fuels and emit tons of noise.

I know ranting about being “environmentally responsible” makes you feel good (even though what you said we should do is environmentally destructive compared to this), gregpeters, but luckily for the real world most of us are gonna go with common sense here.

There should be NOTHING invested in lawnmowers other that the old push style ones. The environmentally responsible option is to reduce the size of one\\\’s lawn: PLANT FOOD!
