Keep Your Lawn Green and Sustainable with Clean Air Lawn Care
Uses clean and quiet electric equipment powered by renewable energy
Did you know?
Electric mowers emit 3300 times less hydrocarbons than gas mowers.
Electric lawn mowers emit 5,000 times less carbon monoxide than gas lawn mowers.
Electric lawn mowers emit less than half the carbon dioxide of gas lawn mowers.
Clean Air Lawn Care offers a green approach to lawn care:
- Charges its equipment using solar and wind energy.
- Runs larger mowers on locally produced biofuels
- Purchases wind power and carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org to ensure the entire operation is carbon neutral.
- Composts all grass clippings.
- Mows at a height that maximizes water conservation and nutrient uptake.
- Offers an organic fertilization program.
According to the EPA, in one hour, one gas lawn mower
- Pollutes the same as 40 late model cars
- Emits the amount of hydrocarbons of an SUV driven for 23,600 miles
- Contributes 93 times more smog-forming emissions than 2006 cars
Gas lawn mowers consume 580 million gallons of gasoline annually
A 1000 sq ft lawn generates 300 pounds of clippings annually - let's keep those clippings out of the landfills.
I got to visit with Michael Andre, the owner of the Chapel Hill Clean Air Lawn Care, during a Chapel Hill Career Fair. We had fun presenting different green career options to Chapel Hill middle school students, and I got to learn about some other great companies as well!

Good morning Penny, good post. Did you see my post this morning? Regards,
We have a few cities here in Southern California that don't allow gas lawn mowers or gas leaf blowers anymore due to the combination of noise and air pollution.
Thanks for the info on gas vs. electric lawn mowers, Penny...and what a great idea for Clean Air Lawn Care to incorporate solar panels into their truck bed! :)

Russel - interesting how things change. I really had no idea how much of a difference not using a gas lawnmower makes!
Leilani - I was very impressed with Michael when we were presenting together, and love the low impact of the company
