Google Hires 200 Goats to Eat Their Grass

Yeah! Google now hires 200 goats to mow the fields outside their office in Mountain View, CA, USA. They have rented the goats from California Grazing and the goats will replace the noisy mowing machines that run on gas, which leads to air and noise pollution. Instead of the machines, the goats will eat the grass and weeds off the fields and will also fertilize at the same time. How? With the droppings ofcourse.

Google’s Dan Hoffman, Director Real Estate and Workplace Services, adds on the Google Blog -“It costs us about the same as mowing, and goats are a lot cuter to watch than lawn mowers.” Really, an awesome move to go green and at the same time cut the grass and cost too. So, I guess next month we will have Google Milk.. oops Goat’s Milk too from the Google’s Office.
