Sorry that has a herd of goats

Search engine outfit Google has hired a herd of goats in a bid to lower its carbon footprint. The herd of 200 goats have been bought in to mow the grass on its Mountain View HQ rather than using lawnmowers.

Google said it wanted to take a more “low-carbon” approach with the goats reducing the company’s contribution to air and noise pollution. It costs about the same as mowing the lawn but the goats were “a lot cuter to watch.”
