Al Gore should be quite proud of me because I own and use a “green” lawnmower. In fact, I purchased it several years ago, long before “buying green” was all the rage. And with three acres of lawn to mow, it sure gets a lot of use each summer!
Now my “green” lawnmower isn’t the best looking model around, and it tends to guzzle gasoline and belch out enough carbon emissions to block out the sun on a hot, humid summer day, but it’s “GREEN”. And that’s all that really matters, right?
Back when I was shopping for a mower I toyed with the idea of buying a nice, shiny red one, but common sense and a sense of duty towards my fellow man and future generations won out. So “green” it was, and now I can sleep well at night because of that most momentous of decisions. I’m hoping that Al will read this and send me a certificate of appreciation or a coupon for some carbon credits or something, but I’m sure he’s way too busy in his relentless campaign to save the world from all you folks who ultimately made the selfish decision to “buy red”.
I’m not showing off or anything, but here is a picture of my wonderful “green” lawnmower right after a hard afternoon of mowing. That reminds me, I need to stop by the military surplus store in the morning and pick up a gas mask. All of those fumes are really starting to get to me, and I desperately need to finish mowing tomorrow. But hey, did I mention that my lawnmower is “green”?
