I really don't think there would be an environmental effect.  We should all replace our lawnmowers.  There are a huge disaster for the environment for being just a garden tool.

It's also kinda fun if you use a nail clipper, assuming it's not that hot out.

Electric, huh? I thought about getting one because the gas from my current one smells terrible.

Yeah, I managed to talk my dad into buying an electric weedeater. But he's still holding out on the lawnmower.

I have an electric lawnmover. It's quite convenient, and I highly recommend one for people buying a new lawnmower.

Gas-powered lawnmowers can't be making much of an impact on the environment. Removing gas-powered cars might show some difference. Lawn mowers, not so much. Is the battery life good on electric ones?
That was a joke.

According to Title 4 of the U.S. Code, "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."

Touching the ground...
Quote
But these are just guidelines for showing proper respect for the flag, not enforceable laws, and there is nothing stating that the flag should be destroyed if this happens. If a flag does touch the ground, the proper course of action is simply to lift the flag up, and if it's dirty, clean it. It should only be burned if it is damaged or soiled beyond repair.

Hooray!  You are helping the environment out a ton by having an electic lawnmower.

Although cars are worse than gas lawnmowers it still doesn't mean that it is okay to use one.  Remember, just because you can't do everything doesn't mean you should not do anything at all.

For being a a simple garden tool, the pollution is just ridiculous.  Using a gas mower for one hour is just as bad as driving a new car 93 miles!  That is way to bad for me when you are talking about a common lawnmower.

I don't know if I should touch this one...this is where I could become all radical.  I will say this though, I agree completely with Blue Toad and I.S.  Flag Burning itself is a freedom, but you'll never see me do it.  Just because we have the right to do something, doesn't mean we should do it.  It reminds me of this quote that goes something like "We should do what we ought to, not what we want to."  I can't remember it completely, but it's a great quote.  
I always figured "Time to tip the scales" was Wario's everyday motto.

I dunno, I still like using the gas-powered, because I had a friend who's uncle's electric lawn mower exploded on him.

Exploded?  How can that even happen?  Has anybody ever heard of an electric appliance exploding?  I haven't.

 I've heard of electric cars blowing up too. Anyway, I think we've gotten off topic here.

This is what I don't get. People are all worrying over Global Warming...but wasn't it like 10-15 years ago we were worrying over another Ice Age?

Yeah, man. I'm tired of worrying! We all worry about the enviroment and everything blowing up in our faces and nothing happens. I think it'll turn out alright in the end.
