I have a mechanical push mower for my tiny little lawn. It lets me feel extra smug with my neighbors who have lawn services for their equally tiny lawns. All in all I think this is a good law, even if it's implementation is doubtlessly going to be heavy handed. The noise pollution alone is good enough reason, let alone the chemical pollution. Not sure how easy it will be for the big landscape companies who do things like large city parks, but I'm also not sure inconvenience and price are good enough reasons to keep dinosaurs on the prowl. We'll see how it goes, but I hope more states will consider restrictions, if not outright bans.
