There are some important steps you can follow to make things better
for the environment.  

 * If you mow your lawn, don't use a gasoline powered mower.
 * If possible, blow your grass over your yard, and let it decompose
   there.  Raw grass contains a sizeable portion of nitrogen that is
   returned to soil by this method.  Leaving grass on the lawn does
   not cause thatch, which is most commonly caused by over
   fertilization. 
 * If you bag your grass, be sure to compost it, and spread it back
   over your yard in the next season.  Again, your lawn will love the
   nitrogen boost.
