While recycling and watching your company's energy intake is all fine and good, the fine folks at Google decided to take 'going green' to a whole new level. When their Mountain View base in California noticed its grounds needed a trim, instead of hiring a mower, Google has rented goats to keep its lawns tidy. From the Google blog:
A herder brings about 200 goats and they spend roughly a week with us at Google, eating the grass and fertilizing at the same time. The goats are herded with the help of Jen, a border collie. It costs us about the same as mowing, and goats are a lot cuter to watch than lawn mowers.
Talk about an alternative energy source!
