50 Reasons To Stop Mowing 31 Ways To Help Trees
FIFTY REASONS NOT TO MOW
Please download with 100% cotton, rice, recycled, or scrap paper
Ron Howard, director of A Beautiful Mind and many other films,made his
first film at age 8.. an anti mowing film which showed the nature of
mowers' attacks on lawns.
In 2003 through now, the world has seen floods, famine, fire,mudslides,
hurricanes, tornados and other disasters created bythe unprecedented
destruction of trees around the world. Trees arenature's weather
stabilizers. We need trillions of trees.. new trees.
ISAIAH: "BREAK NOT THE BRUISED REED"
THE FIFTH ANGEL OF REVELATION: " HARM NO GREEN LIVING BEING"
BUDDHA: MAY ALL THAT HAVE LIFE BE DELIVERED FROM SUFFERING
BHAGAVAD GITA: OF TREES I AM THE FIG
MAHAVIRA OF THE JAINS: KILL NOT CAUSE NO PAIN TO ANY BEING.

http://www.epa.gov/greenacres http://www.nrdc.org/(not in the order of
importance)In the last few years the EPA has joined theenvironmental
groups promoting nonmowing. Their site is
http://www.epa.gov/ .. type in 'natural landscaping' in search tobring
upmany sites. The Green Party
http://www.greens.org/ and manyLibertarians also support nonmowing. In
June of 2002, NPR reportedthat the Congressional Black Caucus has a
better record thaneither white Democrats or white Republicans in
environmental issues.(We know of 1 Congressional black Republican).
I: ENVIRONMENTAL (THE REDUCTION OF ENVIRONMENTALMANIPULATION)
1. REFORESTATION When one stops mowing, land becomesmeadow and
thenthicket and then woods. reforesting the world.
2. OXYGEN CREATION This extra greenery creates oxygen.The averagetree
creates 5 pounds of oxygen daily.
3. AIR PURIFICATION And purifies the air through leaffiltration
a.particulate matter b.car fumes c.noxious gases d.otherairborn toxins.
Removal of carbon dioxide by plantsamelioratespollution.
4. TEMPERATURE STABILIZATION Warms the world's wintersand cools the
summers. There is a 50 degree difference between 70degree equatorial
rainforest and 120 degree desert. Each blade ofgrassis a little air
conditioner. A world without drought, flood,famine, freezes, and killer
heat can be eliminated by literallycoveringthe world with trees.
5. RAIN INVOCATIONGreenery calls down rain. Bayard Webster of the
NYTimes wrote that each mature tree evaporates 40 gallons of
moisturedaily (much greater amounts for older trees.) Allgreenery is
involved in the raincycle.The drought and consequent starvation in N.
Korea wasrelated to the cutting of nearly all trees for fuel. (as is
presentdrought in the NW US). (NPR Sept 98 and other sources)
6. DEW PRESERVATION Preserves dew. Not only do greenspires and leaves
act as masts around which dew can gather,but the more greenery the
longer the dew lasts.
7. NOISE BUFFER Weaves a noise buffer which screensout unpleasant
traffic
8. NOISE PREVENTION Ends the peace-fracturing sound ofthe lawnmower.
Some communities have noise ordinances whichprevent mowing during
normal sleeping hours.
9. VISUAL BEAUTY Multiplies the beauty of diversity
10. FRAGRANCE Multiply the fragrance in the air.
11. HEALING GREEN Nonmowing creates optical healing bycreating more
greenery. Research has proven that looking on the jadeand forest greens
reduces heartbeat and creates peace.
12. LANDFILL ECONOMY Letting lawns grow wild reduces pressure
onlandfills..by not adding leaves to overburdenedsystems (and saves the
fuel and wages of collectionreleasing workers for the labor of their
hearts). (NPR Sept 1:methanegases leach from landfill through water
into basements) As the worldevolves away from treekilling, sawdust
piles which are a byproductof the lumber industry will be removed,
making the earth safer forchildren.
13. FUEL CONSERVATION Conserves fuel a. unused inunused mowersb. As
evergreen trees break cold winter winds andshroud dwellings they are
natural insulation.
14. HYDROCARBON REDUCTION Prevents hydrocarbon moweremission from
polluting the air. Many media outlets are passing ontheEPA
recommendation that lawns not bemowed when there is great humidity and
heat. Hydrocarbons createozonealerts.
15. CARBON DIOXIDE Greenery which takes in carbondioxide and breathes
out oxygen reduces gases toxic to humans.
15a. METHANE GAS and toxic gases are purified by leaf action.
16. TORNADO PREVENTION Unstable heat is the mainfactor in tornados.
Greenery which reduces the temperature 30 degreesin forest areas
prevents tornados.
17. MUDSLIDE PREVENTION: The roots of living plantsabsorb great amounts
of water and prevent mudslides.
18. FLOOD PREVENTION:A. On river banks and everywhere, tree, plant,
bush,and vine roots are flood preventers. As David Kidd of Canton,
planterofmore than a million trees has stated, the bigger and older the
treethemore work it does. (The 900 year old oaks with their huge
diametersare a lot more precious to Mother Earth than skinny young
trees.http://www.freetree.org/ B. Ohio Public Radio David C. Barnett
Sept 9th: reported on reductionof impervious surface by reducing
concrete and addinggreenery. (The hard asphalt, concrete, and rooftops
create morerunoff and flooding.) C. Bricks and stones in roads are
better for theenvironment than are concrete and asphalt. They allow
rain throughtheinter-brick space and have less blistering heat. Angel
strips notdevilstrips (Planting grape trellises over highways re-greens
theearth and creates food.)
19. PREVENT DESERTIFICATION Only reforestation canprevent
desertification. This is the conclusion of Patrick Velasquezof USAgency
For International Development and most otherenvironmentalists. We used
to think a pine cone was one seed, butapparently it is hundreds.
20. REDUCE CHEMICAL POLLUTION: Radio network showPublic Interest
October 7 featuring Rodale author: Chemically treatedlawns are grass
high on drugs.: Fertilizer has toxic byproducts forthe land and water.
Rodale, Emmaus Pennsylvania, USA 18049 is oneleader in the organic
movement.
21. FASTEST CLEANUP OF TOXIC DUMPS
Green island sanctuaries of unmolested plants,insects, and wildlife are
a protection against the biotechmanipulationsof the environment.
22. WATERSHED PROTECTION The more greenery, plants, vines, trees, and
bushes..the more the watershed, reservoirs, and lakes and ponds, brooks
andstreams are protected.a. Arsenic is a byproduct of the pressed
woodindustry. Arsenic is poisonous in the waters, and likeother
industrial pollutants such as mercury, chromiumand polychlorinated
biphenols is concentrated in the flesh of
fishes.http://www.nofishing.net/ http://www.pcrm.org/
http://www.ivu.org/
23. BIODIVERSITY Nonmowing or letting God be the landscaper
createsbiodiversity and its many benefits (and benefirs) rather
thanmonoculture. (Loggers last year caused the death of David
Chain,Earth First tree activist. Write efmc@a... or call 707 923
2114Andy Caffrey)
24. FIRE PREVENTION In March of 2001, widescale drought in the NW has
beenreported. Destruction of greenery is one cause of this.
Trees'evaporation is necessary in cloud formation.
25. FLOOD PREVENTION Nonmowing causes naturalreforestation. Tree roots
on river banks prevent floods.
26. WATER CONSERVATION: Unmowed areas do not needwatering.. they are
self contained systems. Nor do they needrecycling.
27. INSECTICIDE PREVENTION: Carpet lawn enthusiastspollutethe
environment with insecticides in some cases.
II HUMAN RIGHTS: (Numbers 19 through 31)
1. FEEDING THE HUNGRY: FOOD CREATION Prevents famineby giving a
cornucopia of free food to the planet Orchards are 450times as
productive per acre as slaughterhouses..Dr. Faust,former chief of the
USDA Fruit Labs, cited centenarian orchards ofapple trees dropping two
tons each of food. This is 400,000 lbs peracreas compared to 100 to
1000 lbs of food for meat, 10,000 lbs fordairy, 80,000 lbs. for acre.
The 400 to l ratio is only the firststep. Trilevel agriculture.. with
bean and other vines around thetree trunks and other foodyielding
plants in the interarborealspaces.. yield even more. This also can be
multiplied by those areaswhich have 2 or 3 growing seasons..e.g.
Southern California. Becausecertain economic systems promote scarcity
based profit, these orchardsystems have been deemphasized.
2. PREVENTION OF DEATH AND INJURY Prevents in the U.S.alone, 75,000
accidents and some fatalities annually caused bymowers and harvesters,
and around the world millions of accidentseliminated. NPR reported May
17, 2002 that tractor rollovers arethe leading cause of death among
farmers, and that farming ingeneral is the 2nd most hazardous
occupation (after commercialfishing).
2b. Ravines are generally more protected from mowing,as there is wider
recognition of the danger of mowing.
2c. When grass is mowed on hillsides, when wet orexceedingly dry it can
cause slipping accidents.
3. PREVENTION OF HEART ATTACKS As non shoveling ofsnow can prevent
winter heart attacks nonmowing can sometimespreventsummer heart
attacks.
4. FREEDOM Health departments are reducing the forcedcrewcutting of
lawns and the rending ofMother Nature's garments . See below for
further info.
5. EMPTY JAILS Saves money otherwise spent on jailing people (seeabove)
6. PRIVACY Creates a privacy screen. Ways to avoidgrass (a transitional
plant unless land is constantly mowed) includea. pachysandra b. myrtle
and other ground cover c. grape vinetrellises d. evergreen trees and
shrubs as natural fences e.berry bushes as natural boundaries.
7. HERBAL REMEDIES Nonmowing allows healing extracts and seeds
toflourish, e.g. milkthistle seeds, which regenerate
cirrhosis-afflictedlivers. The active ingredient is silymarin.
(Herbology studentembyrne@s... is a non mower) Work against those who
seek to patentthe world's pre-existing seeds. http://www.purefood.org/
(see Monsantofile.)
8. KEEPS WASPS FRIENDLY prevents wasp stings and hiveattacks as their
homes are destroyed.
9. ECONOMICS a. saves money otherwise spent on fuelb. Saves money
otherwise spent on young trees.c. Fruit trees ave money spent on food.
10. TIME ECONOMY frees human time hours for enjoyablepriorities a. no
gas procurement time, no mowing time, no rakingtime.
11. AMERICAN HERITAGE: The Native American culturenever spent time
mowing Mother Earth. Her green cover is her garment.Lawn mowing is a
fairly recent thing. The original lawn mowers weresheep and other
animals later slaughtered for their flesh. The TimeLifeGardening
Yearbook mentions the 'chipped monotypiclayer of bluegrass', the
crewcut which is called alawn. Other ecologists speak about the hazards
of monoculture.
12. FREE CONCERTS Cicadas and crickets will give freeconcerts, as will
woodpeckers, songbirds whose habitats are restored.Fireflies will put
on silent fireworks. Buttercupswill save chalices of dew for
butterflies who in turn will coolthe earth with the slight breeze from
their fanning wings.
13. WEED KILLER OR HERBICIDE use (Diane Rehm Show Sept1) causes
childhood and other environmental pollutant basedcancers. Some leaches
into the water system. Some is directly smearedonto skin.
14. INSECTICIDE BASED CANCERS: Insecticides weredeveloped as weapons in
WW 2. At the end of the war, chemicalcompanies wanted new markets.
These insecticides cause cancer. (NPRSept 1) Animal products
concentrate insecticides at 21 times theintensity they occur in fruits
and vegetables, since a 1000 lb.cow ate 21,000 lbs. of food with
nondegradable insecticides remainingin the muscle cells.
15. HEALING: Studies of recovering gall bladderpatients reveal that
those looking on a garden heal faster than thosenot. (BJ 6 6 2000)
There are now herbal therapists at Univ ofKansas, Rutgers, Texas A&M,
and Virginia Tech. Those who look onliving green have reduced blood
pressure. The plant yarrow makeschildren in its proximity less
agressive within a few moments.Lavender increases memory and
concentration. Anancient vedic parable says that to be healed one
should look upongreen. Rather than paint the world that color, a sage
says'put on green glasses'. (The best green glasses are living in
anenvironment of green.)
COTTON PAPER LASTS FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY YEARS. TREEPAPER LASTS SIXY YEARS.
III ANIMAL RIGHTS:
1. WILDLIFE HABITAT Reprovides a home for wildlife,both those not
endangered and those which are.Keeps birds from flying away when the
power motors are started.
2 ANIMAL RIGHTS Protects insects, redwinged blackbirdsand other living
creatures nesting in ground cover, and preventsthe mastication deaths
of millions of small fieldanimals chewed up in harvesters.. (Sometimes
the tiny feet of theseanimals can be seen in cans of food.) In Numbers
22, God causesa donkey to speak about the beatings of her human
'owner'.Along Lake Michigan in parts of Chicago are newsigns indicating
not mowing is done to give birds long grassesin which to nest.
3 PRESERVE WILDLIFE FOOD SUPPLY: Not removing acorns leaves foodfor
squirrels and other wildlife during the winter as well asprovidingnew
sapling oaks in the spring. Not removing leaves provides morethermal
shelter for northern animals.
4. SONGBIRDS ATTRACTED TO WILD AREAS...............James Marcus:
Dandelions: they must be God's favoriteflower for He plants them
everywhere.
IV: PLANT RIGHTS Numbers 33 and 341.
PLANT RIGHTS
1 PLANTS' RIGHTS Protect the rights of sentient plants whose
feelingshave been documented by Dr. Chandra Bose, knighted by theQueen
of England for his laboratory measurement of plantconsciousness. Other
scientists who have proven or written of plantconsciousness ares are
Clive Baxter, Luther Burbank, The Secret Life Of Plants writers,, the
owner to whose rights, Isaac Tigrett, sold all the Hard Rock Cafes he
founded after becoming a vegetarian.
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Canyon/8397/tigrett.html
Pachysandra, myrtle, snow on themountain,and camomile are some ground
covers which do not offend moreconservative neighbors.
2: WILDFLOWER SANCTUARY Those like Lady Bird Johnsonwho have worked to
foster protection of wildflowers know thenecessityof more wild places.
3: ENDING BOTANICAL RACISM E.Woodford is the first person who has
spoken to us of botanical racism. This phrasemeans different things to
different people. To us it means that weedshave as much right to exist
as do plants with cultivated blooms.The spirit-filled volunteers called
weeds are usuallystronger, more and more prolific than cultivated
plants.
V: DIVINE RIGHT:
1. Mother Earth blesses those who abandon controlling and manipulating
her.
2. God does not like lawnmowers. (Joel 1: The land mourns the
destruction of plants.) (Isaiah: Break not the bruised reed.)
3. George Bernard Shaw: I love little children, but I don't cutoff
their heads and stick them in vases.IF YOU WILL JOIN THE EVERGREEN
NETWORK PLEASE EMAIL USSO AT freelibrary27@y... There is no financial,
action, orother obligation. In an editorial on March 19, 1977, the
WashingtonPosteditorialized:"the tall grass can only benefit the
citizens who seekthe beauty of Rock Creek Park". That year the
NationalPark Service instituted a 'meadows' program to let some
areasreturn to nature. The Post mentioned the federal court casevictory
of an Akron citizen who fought the city's compulsorylawnmowing
ordinance. "Nature is ready to cooperate.Some citizen cooperation is
next." In addition the Post's RichardCohen reported on a lawn mowed by
a guinea pig named Bijou.Phil Shenon of the New York Times has covered
no-mow activistssuch as Alice Herrington, then president of Friends
ofAnimals. The BBC, NPR, and Australian Broadcasting are
someinternational networks which have covered theadvantages of
nonmowing. The Los Angeles Times also editorialized infavor of not
mowing. The Atlanta Constitution outlined reasonsnot to mow in an
article by Lewis Regenstein. Omni Magazine, TheChristian Science
Monitor, Organic Gardening, AnitaManning of USA Today, Vegetarian
Times, OMNI magazine, Germannewspapers, and many other publications
have promotedthe idea of nonmowing.Patrick Velasquez of the US Agency
For InternationalDevelopment studied Senegalese forest. He said the
cost ofplanting other country exotics there was $25 to $50 per
tree,with 19% survival rate whereas natural regeneration (which
occursfromnonmowing) is free. The USDA in 1998 has signed onto the
NationalWildlife Federation's Backyard Conservation plan..
whichencourages people to let the area behind their homes grow wild
forthesake of the environment.Even these corporate media and hunting
promotiongroups are promoting the environment. 'Corn on the curb' is
anincreasingly visible thing. The Spanish poet Lorca,assassinated
byFranco:"They cut timber and lioness teats as easily as if they were
bakingbread". Sterling North: We are but the ephemera of the moment,the
brief custodians of redwoods which were ancient when Christ wasborn.
Recently the governor of one of the largest states in
thecountrypromised to plant l million trees in his state andsaid that
trees, do indeed, call down rain. (Those areas with themostdevastation
this winter from icestorms, mudslides, flood and tornadowere for the
most part places which had cut downtens of thousands of trees in the
last 20 years.). The Nicaraguan Network Environmental Task Forcecalls
on multinationals to stop devastating Atlantic forests..
linkedtoHurricane Mitch-The bombing of Afghanistan has been a factor in
the drought..as trees which invoke rain were destroyed and river
coursesaltered. Napalm burned the trees of Vietnam. At
presentherbicides are being dropped in Colombia and Ecuador
borders.Richard St Barbe Baker convinced Franklin Roosevelt, US
president, toplant billions of trees.Garrison Kieler of Prairie Home

THIRTY ONE WAYS TO HELP TREES
Why is the area of most heat and light, the equator, only 70 degrees in
equatorial rainforest and 130 degrees intemperate zone desert?
Trillions of Trees. Trees as nature's weather stabilizers, trees,
accounting for a 60 degree difference between rainforest on the equator
and temperate zone desert, have been felled at an unprecedented rate.
Harming trees causes fire, flood, famine,tornado and hurricane. How to
help them?
1. plant trees Work for city, state, country and UN tree planting
http://www.freetree.org/
2. stop mowing http://www.epa.gov/greenacres
http://www.egroups.com/messages/nomow/266 http://www.nrdc.org/ because
trees grow where none mow.
These websites have files on not mowing
3. eat tree products.. fruits and nuts.. say yes to orchard growers
http://www.acorn.net/fruitarian
4. build with stone stucco brick and block not wood. You will
a.prevent termite destruction nonviolently,
b save the $,time, and environmental damage of paint,
c have natural insulationwith its energy savings,
d. prevent rotting wood
e. have better insulation in summer & winter
f. end thedisease related to living near the mold from rotting wood
g.reduce the arsenic in the watersystems, flowing in from pressedwood
factories and h. have increasing rather than decreasing equityin your
home. Use natural barriers such as bushes, or chain link,rather than
wood fencing.
http://www.greenpeaceusa.org/
5. cancel daily newspaper..and magazines and newsletters printedon
felled trees, as 72% of the young have get your news on the web
http://www.protest.net/ Daily newspapers account for trillions oftrees
slaughtered annually and most promote anti environmentcorporations.
6. Print on cotton, recycled or scrap paper in downloading
7. Use a water spray instead of toilet paper
8. Buy food naturally packaged.. nuts in nut shells,bananas inpeels..
buy in bulk. Fruit is nature's most perfectly packaged food.
How many trees go into cereal boxes
http://www.goveg.com/meetmeat.html
9. Use canvas bags for shopping.. neither plastic nor paper
http://www.sierraclub.org/
10. Stop eating meat, since cutting forests for cattlegrazing is a
major cause of deforestation.. Animal fleshyields a maximum of 1000 lbs
an acre. Tri level agriculture (fruittrees, vines and fruit bearing
plants) yields over 450,000 lbs. peracre.) Meat's trioxypurine is more
addictive than caffein'sdioxypurine.
11. Work for peace.. work for an end to giving 10 million a dayto
violent governments, for the outlawing of membership on armsmerchant
boards by government officials (Lynne Cheney on theboard of Lockheed
which wants to keep a 70 billion dollar planecontract) and elsewhere
radically affecting weather patterns.. work for an end to CIA, Army and
other weathermanipulation. In 1972 Seymour Hersh reported in the NY
Timesthe CIA's attempts through cloud seeding to cause flooding inN
Vietnam.
http://www.peta.net/feat/military
12. Save fruit seeds and scatter them in wild places The average
evaporation of mature trees is 42gallons a day..which becomes mist,
then clouds, and then rain,eliminating drought.
13. Buy books and greeting cards published on cotton, rice, or
othernontree paper.
14. Purchase furniture which is used and refurbish itor buy metal
furniture with cotton padding. There are many nontreefurniture options.
The furniture, lumber, and construction businesseshave lobbied for the
cutting down of US forests, whereas the UK, somecities in Maryland and
California require a permit to cut downold trees.
15. Vote out earth abusers.. Vote out the GOP which sometimesreceives
10 times the political contributions from earth abusersthat any other
party receives. Vote inDemocrats or Greens or Libertarians depending on
the situation
http://www.truthout.org
http://www.greens.org/
http://www.democrats.org/ (in some instances)
16. Avoid fast food places which deforest for theirpackaging and create
litter which fills dumpsites and requireslabor pickup
http://www.vegdining.com
http://www.mccruelty.com
http://www.kfccruelty.com
17. visualize sun and green trees everywhere
18. pray
19. Outlaw junk mail (as telemarketers have been assigned to
http://donotcall.gov ). File a form withthe main post office in your
area. Return to sender. The GOP & junkmailers are requiring you to
subsidize their treekilling and invasive practices as your postal rates
go from 34 cents to37 cents, an 8.1 cent inflation rate.
20. Recycle cardboard cartons at commerical establishments. Recycle
your own scrap paper. (Ask
http://www.paperretriever.com to do its part to end Canadian seal
clubbing. Arbitibi is the biggest
recycler in the world.)
21. Replace the purchase of dead Christmas trees whichcause many fires
annually.. with artificial trees.. orliving ones planted each year in
the year. Oregon is the biggestChristmas tree killer with 7 billion a
year in slaughter sales.
22. Save seeds of trees, vines, bushes, plants andscatter them where
mowing does not occur23. Ban the cutting of trees entirely as Thailand
hasdown.(The United Kingdom has banned the cutting of treesafter they
reach a certain width.. while Takoma Park Maryland inthe US and other
cities have required a permit to cut oldertrees. The United States is
still a land of skinny trees, becauseof present control of the Forest
Svc. and National Park Serviceby lumber mining oil and cattle
interests) In Mumbai elephantsare threatened by logging, as well as by
poaching and war.
24. Stop through lawsuits, networking etc. the 'controlled
fires'deliberately set by the US ParkService and the Forest Svc...
fires which often are made more lethalby the unpredictable wind.. fires
which at their best destroytrees, animals, insects.
25. Work for workplace, home, library and other printoutson cotton,
recycled, or the back sides of already printed paper.
26. stop the control of national and state executive
branch,legislatures and courts by corporate contractors
27. network with other environmentalists
28. Disinvest mutual funds, pension funds from earth abusing
corporations involved in metropolitan newspapers, and killing trees.
29a. Replace paper towels with washed cotton rags. 29b. Encourage
publishers to stop marketing dust
jackets and to use recycled paper.
30. Contact the USPO to give you a Direct Marketing Assoc. form.. which
will stop both commercial and nonprofit junk mail delivered to your
home
http://www.the-dma.org/
31. Fax gives trees the ax... phone and email are more direct
RAKING LEAVES
1. wastes time 2. fills landfills 3. costs communities money4. removes
blanketing leaves from Mother Earth during winter5. removes nuts which
feed squirrels
