We use electric push mowers—powered by solar panels mounted on our trucks. Yes, it hasn’t always been the easiest way to cut the grass, but no other emissions equation adds up to zero. Now, over a decade since Clean Air Lawn Care got its start, electric lawn equipment has become more powerful and effective than ever before.
Meanwhile, in too many neighborhoods across the country, conventional gas mowers continue to run amuck, throwing hydrocarbon tantrums and polluting our ears and atmosphere. It’s no secret that we aren’t the only ones concerned by this: the E.P.A. estimates 54 million such mowers are used weekly, guzzling 800 million gallons of gasoline and causing 5-10 percent of the nation’s air pollution every year.
Conventional lawn care is not sustainable lawn care; it is dirty, loud and resource-intensive. Small gas-powered engines found on conventional lawn equipment contribute 5-10% of the nation’s air pollution.
According to the EPA, in 1 hour, 1 gas lawn mower: pollutes the same as 40 late model cars, emits the same amount of hydrocarbons (precursors to ground-level ozone) as a SUV driven 23,600 miles, and contribute 93 times more smog-forming emissions that 2006 cars.
