Vermont Veterans For Peace members, Jozef, JeanneE and Dylan Hand-Boniakowski, have declared their lawn a War Dead Free Zone on May 1, 2006. The lawn is being cut by a mechanical hand push reel mower that uses no petroleum products to run.  No oil/petroleum products means no blood for oil.

There is no expense in cutting the lawn using a reel mower after the initial cost of purchase, about $90.00.  Benefits include a good aerobic workout contributing to better health, no exhaust, no smell, no obnoxious noise, quality time outdoors, and monetary savings.  The best benefit is not contributing to the war dead by not using petroleum products. 

Note to purists: Yeah, yeah.  The push lawn mower was built and delivered using some one-time petroleum products.  Better than driving a gas-guzzling 14-hp John Deere tractor to cut the grass.  Isn't it?  

We invite you to participate by declaring and making your lawn, no matter how small or big a "War Dead Free Zone".  Let us know what state your War Dead Free Zone lawn is in.  Email us.  Our War Dead Free Zone is about 1 acre in size.
