The Smallest Engines have the Biggest Impact - Lawnmowers
In one year of operation, one older gasoline-powered lawnmower pollutes as much as a new car driven 86,000 miles, according to California's AQMD. The solution: change to an electric mower!
Electric lawnmowers provide a variety of benefits over 2-cycle gas lawnmowers.
Where the old technology was loud and hearing protection was recommended, the new electric lawnmower makes half the noise or less.
The 2-cycle engines create air pollution with emissions, but the new emissions-free battery power protects your family from the health problems associated with high emissions such as asthma and even heart problems.
Electric lawn mowers also offer a few conveniences such as push-button starts and light weight.
Another alternative to energy use to consider -- turn more of your turf grass into native plants that require less irrigation, less mowing (yeah!) and provide your local butterflies, birds and earthworms with nutritious food and habitat!
