Avoiding the neccesity for petro-chemical synthesized fertilizers. How sustainable is this?: The goats are transported with a vehicle, but when comparing that to lawnmowers there is no question it's better. An average lawn mower doesn't have the regulations that car engines do. Statistics point to the fact that running a home lawn mower for 30 minutes is the equivalent emissions of 100 mile trip in an SUV. You do the math. Peace, Chris A few answers:
