Choose the most eco-energetic lawn mower you can find.
Not mowing or reducing the size of the lawn gives you more latitude in your choice of mower. The main environmental impact to consider is the energy savings related to the mower’s use phase.
Our recommendations :
-
Silent, environmentally friendly push mowers are perfect for small spaces.
-
For larger areas, an electric or battery-operated mower is a good choice. These mowers emit no pollutants during operation. But remember: energy efficiency should still be considered, since the source of the electricity itself may be a source of atmospheric pollution (for example, coal- or oil-fired power stations). A gas mower with a 4-stroke engine is a better choice than one with a 2-stroke engine. Mowers equipped with a mulching function reduce the size of the clippings to accelerate their decomposition.
