You can really pick up all kinds of ecofriendly living tidbits listening to Martha Stewart’s daily talk show.  For example, she recently talked about this product that will make going green easier and it wasn’t self-promotion.  The product was the Momentum Reel Mower from Fiskars. For those interested in adding a little green to their lives can switch from a gas powered mower to a push mower and reduce their carbon footprint in the process.  Some may scoff at the idea of using a push mower because of the added exertion required when going over rough patches like very high grass but they have considered that. 

Fiskars’ solution to this problem is their “InertiaDrive™ Technology [which] combines a large diameter cutting reel and heavy blades to store energy (like a flywheel) until a burst of extra cutting power is needed”.  The InertiaDrive™ Technology is what makes this change towards ecofriendly living easy.  The mower even boasts a “StaySharp™ Cutting System [which is] precision engineered to cut grass without the blades touching – greatly reducing friction & blade wear”. Fisker even stands by their product with a four-year warranty – the best on the market for a push mower. All this is topped off by the fact that the mower was designed not only to be good for the environment but also for the person pushing.
