Eco-lawn is a blend of fescue grasses which, according to its Canadian distributors, Wildflower Farm, grows about 4 times slower than your average
lawn grass, which means one-fourth of the mowing for me and you. Considering my aversion to yardwork, and the fact that a gas-powered mower running
for one-hour releases the same amount of emissions an automobile driving 100 miles (gas powered mowers are estimated to account for 5% of this
country’s air pollution), this is quite the benefit in itself.

Now it might be possible to keep a green lawn without spilling chemicals that kill earthworms, or use/spill more gas than needed.
