			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All of us love a nice green lawn but often because of the amount of water that needs to be used, the<br />
pesticides involved and other miscellaneous maintenance needs, such a lawn can be a big drain on our<br />
environment as well as our resources. You could even do without a lawn and instead indulge in<br />
something more environmentally friendly. However, if you don’t want to forego your lawn, you can do<br />
the following to reduce the harmful effects:</p>
<p>Let the lawn grow: If you let the grass grow, it is scientifically proven that grass will grow slower after<br />
it grows to about 4-5 inches height. This means you need to use the lawnmower less, weeds are<br />
naturally killed and water retention is higher meaning you need to water less. Unless you’re operating a<br />
golf course, letting lawns grow is s a great way to minimize adverse effects.</p>
<p>Don’t fill your lawnmower to the brim: Every year, around fifteen MILLION gallons of gas are wasted<br />
while trying to refill lawn machinery. You will find that while you are trying to top up your lawn<br />
mower, you always manage to spill some on the grass. This not only kills your lawn most effectively,<br />
you also add to your already increasing fuel bill. What you need to do is to stop trying to fill your lawn<br />
mower tank to the top, instead leave some space empty.</p>
<p>Opt for electric equipment: If you’re out to buy some lawn equipment, opt for electric machinery<br />
instead of the traditional gas powered ones. It will create less noise, will be safer for the environment<br />
and are idea for small plots. Though this form has its disadvantages, like always needing to recharge<br />
the batteries, electric machinery performs on the same level as traditional equipment and sometimes<br />
even better and that too in an eco friendly manner.</p>
