Awareness Number Four [Reasons Why Not To Mow The Yard]
By: Daniel Lee Edstrom
1. Mowing grass causes air-born toxic emissions. Anytime a plant is eaten or cut down, it goes into a self-preservation mode.
a. The damaged plant sends electrical impulses to it's root system telling it to produce a toxic enzyme for the purpose of warding off further destruction.
b. The damaged plant also sends a genesis signal to the roots that will cause the growth of the plant to switch into high gear. The plant then grows at an abnormal speed in a state of toxicity until it's threat of extinction is no longer. This promotes a local air atmosphere of toxicity that lingers in hopes of warding off further destruction from air-breathing creatures. Some of the side effects for humans may include; hay fever, labored breathing, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, acute asthma,and nausea.
2 .Mowing increases the pesky bug population.
a.The miraculous eco-system that you have just cut down, has driven away an arsenal of would-be predators of gnats, flies, and mosquitoes.The pesky bugs can now fly around with less fear of being consumed. They are also filled with the toxins from the air-born aftermath, thus, birds and other would-be flying predators will stay away from them until the conditions return to normal.
3. Labor and equipment cost.
a. First you have the initial cost of the lawnmower,
b. Second you have the perpetual cost of fuel and oil.
c. Third you have the cost of maintaining and fixing your lawnmower [unless you are one of those people who are fortunate enough to have a mechanic in the family, but even then, you must rely upon their charity every time you have a mechanical need.]
d. Fourth, your time is money if not for the fact that you could be spending more time on better endeavors that may be important to you.
4. Noise Pollution
a. For a considerable portion of your day, the lawn mower engine noise will strip the peace and solitude as well as drown out and drive away many beautiful song birds [that also eat pesky bugs I might add.] that were also once thriving around your yard space.
So why don't we save ourself a lot of time and money, sprinkle some wildflower seeds around and maybe cut just enough for a little winding walkway, and enjoy our yard's little eco-system?We will all breathe alot easier especially when we realize all the time, energy, and money that we are saving!
