Forget about the car, how about that mower

Lawn lovers may not realize that push-power mowers spew as much pollution in an hour as 11 cars, and riding mowers emit as much as 34 cars, according to the Washington Post.
Though outdoor-equipment makers have been subject to regulation and have reduced emissions, the Environmental Protection Agency and California wanted more stringent rules for the $8 billion industry. This meant that to achieve further reductions in pollutants, engine makers would probably have to use catalytic converters to clean up exhaust.
