I've read that using a lawn mower for an hour creates as much CO2 as driving a modern vehicle from Oklahoma City to Dallas(a four hour drive).

I wouldn't be surprised if it were more than that. Lawn mowers were a big issue at EPA a while back while I was there, maybe ten years ago. Staff kept trying to get something going on lawn mowers. But it was politically impossible. Lawn mowers are apparently sacrosanct, even in blue states. The BBs that we address and the order in which we address them have nothing to do with relative risk.

I will never have a lawn, for multiple reasons, one of which is environmental.
