Google Hires Goats to Mow The Lawn

This is why I always wondered why they kept trying to scare deer out of our yards when we were younger. If you let them graze, they poop and make the grass greener. then they come back and eat it later. Maint. free! I mean sure, I'd never know the worht of a hard day's labor behind a mower, but I think the tradeoff is worth it.
CO2 be damned, I like animals. Isn't goat blood good for keeping ghosts away?

So here's what I'm getting:
Google is trying to be enviromently friendly, ignoring the fact that their computers are "not the best thing for the enviroment."
One (or more) lawn mower(s) apparently leaves (leave) such a carbon footprint, that all the man power of brining in the goats, picking up waste, feeding them, and keeping them from being a distraction from employees is easier than it is to minimize other carbon footprints.
I'm no lawn expert, but how would eating the grass keep it as neat looking as a lawn mower designed to cut the grass just how you want it? Last time I checked, the land under barn yard animals is no fairway.

God that's gonna be a lot of crap around >.>. Also that's a lot of noise as well.

It is the low-er carbon option.JMeganSnow said:
Goats produce less Carbon DiOxide than a team of ride-on lawn mowers. Besides, the goats would still be farting, they would just do it somewhere else.
