>>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).<< A lawnmower cannot "make" carbon, so there's no reason for it to produce more CO2 than a car. Actually you may get slightly less CO2 (carbon dioxide) with a lawnmower, and a higher proportion of CO (carbon monoxide). CO has nasty effects on human health. The lawnmower pollution problems behind the push for greater regulation are ozone and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
