January 8, 2009 - A green resolution for the New Year

Fort Collins, CO - The green franchise movement is gaining speed. Clean Air Lawn Care is still seeing growth through new franchises and through new customers in existing markets. Chances are there is a Clean Air Lawn Care servicing your neighborhood and you haven’t reaped the benefits of experiencing the clean and quiet lawn care service.

Clean Air Lawn Care is a lawn maintenance business that uses clean electric and biodiesel powered equipment. The vehicles hauling this equipment have mounted solar panels which charge the electric equipment during the workday. The equipment is clean and quiet; the fertilizer is organic; the business is carbon neutral.

Entrepreneur Magazine identified the green (environmental) industry as one of seven industries that have the potential to make you a million. The top franchises in each industry were recognized in the October 2008 print issue. Clean Air Lawn Care was named as one of the top 5 green franchises in America. Kelly Giard, founder of Clean Air Lawn Care, will be speaking at the 2009 PROGREEN EXPO in January.

The EPA has estimated that up to 5-10% of the nation’s air pollution comes from gas powered lawn equipment. Through the use of electric equipment powered by renewable energy, Clean Air Lawn Care removed 32,000 pounds of air pollution equaling over 1,000,000 vehicle miles in 2008. The positive impact of Clean Air Lawn Care’s business is parallel with growth. Growth simply means a larger reduction in air pollution.

There are many reasons why people should consider Clean Air Lawn Care’s service:

• In one hour, one gas lawn mower can pollute as much as an SUV driven 23,600 miles.
• Gas lawn mowers consume 580 million gallons of gasoline annually and 25-35% of this fuel escapes unburned.
• Electric lawn mowers cut noise emissions by 50%-75%.

Clean Air Lawn Care’s business model brings the emissions associated with lawn care down to zero. Clean Air Lawn Care is changing the way America mows the lawn. The clean and quiet service is great for neighbors, working environments, and enjoying your day with clean air to breathe.
