Green snow shovel

Treehugger suggests you use this instead of a snow blower...
(via Gizmodo).

I bought my husband a snowblower one year, and by coincidence, that was the year we had 120 inches of snow in an area that averages 60 inches.

The snowblower wore out by February. Possibly because every time we cleared the sidewalk, the snowplow would come up the street and plow snow back on our sidewalk. Without a clear sidewalk, they wouldn't deliver mail, so that meant going to the Post Office to get our mail.

Since then, we have followed the advice given by Treehugger:

One: Move south

Two: Hire a teenager to clear your snow.

Works for us...
