Peak Oil: Keep Off the Grass

Chew on this — roughly 580,000,000 gallons of gas is used in lawn mowers annually!

That’s an average of over 1.5 million gallons a day spent on just keeping grass short. And really, that’s just the beginning of how much petro is used on lawn care.

Homeowners in the U.S. spend over $25 BILLION a year on lawn care products, like pesticides and fertilizers, most of which are petroleum-based.
