Clean, solar-powered Irmo lawn mowing from Clean Air Lawn Care means our lawn mowers run on clean renewable energy from the sun. Electric mowers, run on solar-power, emit zero air pollution and are quiet – you may not even know we’re mowing the lawn.
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.
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.
