So you don't think the Amish polute the air , is that what you are saying. I only have one thing that comes to mind ,but it is enough for now. There are a couple of Amish communitites around here and I must confess, I do admire their way of life for the most part. There are even a few groups of Mennonites nearby so I have had the pleasure of mingling with them too. The one thing that makes me wonder is this...Gasoline powered washing machines. OK so this is only ONE application. However, I remember reading somewhere that 1 lawnmower polutes the air more than 100 automobiles? Lets think about that for a moment. OK, Done. Now I don't think that a Vanagon or any other vehicle is so bad with or W/O a cat.! I guess that may be one of the reasons that I bought a "reel" mower when I built my new house, that and it's just more aesthetically pleasing to push it along and smell the fresh CUT not broken off , grass!
