In Australia the holiday season is the season to use petrol gardening equipment all day, every day. Pythons, lizards, frogs and insects are simply shredded and mulched alive.

Robotic lawn mowers and fossil fuel gardening tools are shredding wildlife

"Scientists analyzed 370 documented cases of hedgehogs being injured (cut) by electric gardening tools in Germany. Almost half of the hedgehogs found ... did not survive the injuries. The data reveal a serious animal welfare and conservation issue for these specially protected animals, as most hedgehogs were only found hours or even days after the accidents." >>

[P] There's only three kinds of people who mow/strim lawns: clinnically insane psychopaths; the blissfully empty-headed, who never have any thoughts about anything; and those who're forced to by the prior two types because otherwise they might lose their home and/or be hit with fines they can't afford.

I feel so bad for everyone who's the third type.

One of my neighbours mowed my front verge (or nature strip as some of you Eastern Staters call it).

The problem is I don't know which one, so I don't know who to thank. What a wonderful problem to have with my neighbours, very grateful!

Ugghhhh, we are doomed... 🤦‍♂️

I'm changing the oil on Jean-Michel my riding mower today.

I've watched the youtube video twice so I'm pretty sure I'm already an expert.

(I hope Jean-Michel isn't ticklish.)
