The surprising benefits of switching to ‘lamb mowers’
"It also brings other benefits. No chemicals are needed. The sheep selectively eat weeds and invasives (Lamb Mowers won’t serveany lawns treated in the last six months). Carbon from the grass is returned to the soil as sheep pellets. One 2006 study found replacing sheep for lawn mowers cut net emissions by more than a third (980 kgCO2e/ha/year). If you embrace the natural lawn and 'no mow' movement, the sheep help you make the transition from sod to meadow, and keep it healthy over time."

Labeling innovation as ‘greenwashing’ diminishes the climate fight
"The truth is that environmental groups and energy firms today are natural allies in the fight against climate change. That’s why it’s so important for both to continue working together for constructive progress and realistic solutions.
