Imagine a summer afternoon in your lounge chair with a glass of iced tea – and no lawn mower roar or gas smell to disturb you. That’s our future if we invest in electric lawn equipment.
Trimmers are a good start because they’re cheaper than other equipment, and both battery and cord models are available.
Mowers are a bigger investment, but an electric push mower can cut a smaller lawn on one battery charge. Options for riding mower models, including zero-turn, are increasing every season, and can cut over 2 acres of lawn between charges.
Household electrification is important for eliminating fossil fuels (as is cleaning up the grid so that we use clean electricity). Better yet, reduce your lawn so that you can spend even more time lounging while preserving your native ecosystem!
