Swapped my gas mower for a reel mower back in April

I used to run a gas mower every Saturday morning, burning through about a gallon of fuel each month. Then I read that small engines put out way more pollution per hour than a car, so I picked up a manual reel mower for $80 off Facebook Marketplace. Now I just push it around the lawn for 30 minutes and get some exercise instead of fumes. Has anyone else tried switching to manual lawn tools and noticed a difference in their bills?

Switched my trimmer too and my electric bill actually dropped a bit (like ten bucks).

Hold up @brookebailey, TEN BUCKS? That's CRAZY. I didn't think those little trimmers could make ANY dent in an electric bill.
