Mowing American Lawns Uses 800 Million Gallons of Gas Per Year

Updated on April 11, 2024September 21, 2023

Using a gas-powered mower for one hour produces the same amount of emissions as 11 new cars also running for an hour.

At least 17 million gallons of gasoline are spilled annually just filling these lawnmowers.

Switch to an electric mower or a more native habitat friendly lawn to help reduce emissions and help the environment.
