Gas powered lawn equipment has no emissions restrictions, so actually a lot more than you'd think

The point of emissions and impact on the environment is certainly the most important aspect of the discussion. But the call out was waste, and the amount of consumption vs total, especially for energy production has to be small.

I wasn't really arguing for lawns or fossil fuel, moreso looking for perspective on the actual consumption amounts because I was curious

You are correct, everyone replying to you is missing what the post you commented on actually said.

Yes lawn equipment has an outsized pollution footprint since those engines don't run clean but they do not have a huge actual fuel consumption footprint.
