A skid steer, with tracks, instead of tires, would do the least damage to lawn areas. It works great, even if it is raining, tires may dig in. A 150 model, is rated to lift 1500 lbs.
IMO, our urban footprint does the same thing, we build a road, house, etc, it all has an impact on the environment. Localized warming is all though, I believe the cycles of the sun have more to do with the larger picture of global warming.

As for my secret gardens, my neighbor does not "farm" his hedgerows, so I do...
Guess I have a new movie to watch.
I thought about it, but figured as soon as I do, so will a lot of other people. I used to have a 1980? VW rabbit that got 50 mph, wishin I still had it.
