GOOGLE G(L)OATS AWAY

A rather green story out of Google..

Google outsources lawnmowing -- to goats. San Francisco Business Times. Google is renting goats to mow lawns at the Googleplex in Mountain View, according to a blog post from the company (in which it affirms that it is not kidding). Google is renting the goats from a company called California Grazing, which provides the services for the San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego areas. The company says the goats cost about the same as lawn mowers.A herder will bring about 200 goats who stay for about a week, eating and fertilizing the grass.
