Sheep, the eco-friendly lawn mower

[Catherine]

Manitoba Hydro has been told that they could save money and the environment if the would give up lawn mowers and herbicides  and use sheep and goats instead. A few sheep  could work all summer and be fat and happy and benefit everyone.

I like the idea of the wool. The sheep could be sheared in a responsible non abusive way. The wool could be processed and dyed and turned into Manitoba Plaid blankets. 



It seems we have quite a few provincial plaids. This would be a wonderful opportunity to help the environment with sheep as lawn mowers and make beautiful plaid blankets. 



I would wear a scarf like this in winter and in Manitoba I would need it.
My father actually had a Manitoba Plaid jacket and on him it looked good.

So I hope Manitoba Hydro listens to the University's advice, saves the environment and just maybe starts a new Manitoba industry. Given our cold winters a woolens industry would be most welcome.
