“Lawnmower produces more pollution than 43 cars”

This is just plain RIDICULOUS on its face.

Define pollution, define the “lawnmower”, define the 43 cars, define produces, what measure of use?

How many MILES does the average homeowner drive their lawnmower? Lawn mowers (tractors) measure usage in HOURS not miles, There is a reason for that.

How many gallons of gasoline do you put in your car per year vs your lawnmower? I have no idea about my car (because it is a very LARGE amount over very many fuelings), but I can make a good guess about my lawnmower, (about 5 five gallon cans, I have a big yard).

I’m not going to entertain this ridiculous idea for even a nanosecond. It could only be true in some manufactured, tortured, use of statistics.
