Well, if you're not happy with gas or electric, perhaps renting a
tethered goat to mow the lawn might be better.  Goats are
environmentally correct and fertilizes the lawn.

Many problems with goats as lawn mowers. Goats like to climb on
things. That's can be your shed, your wood pile, or your car.  Second,
goats are browsers, not grazers. They will eat your grass if there's
no bushes to eat, but if they do, they'll graze like sheep, which is
to eat the grass right down to the roots. That's the reason the sheep
herders and the cattlemen did not get along back when there was open
range. A heavily sheep grazed field is like a putting green.
