November 15, 2011 - Sustainable Business Growing in North Carolina
Charlotte, NC - With most businesses, growth = increased environmental impact. Clean Air Lawn Care is an exception. The business uses clean electric equipment powered by renewable energy. Each truck is equipped with a ‘Clean Air Solar Charging Unit' - mounted solar panels that charge the electric equipment throughout the day. In 2010, Clean Air reduced 110,341 pounds of air pollution nationwide, equaling over 3 million vehicle miles as it expanded into 33 territories across the country. The sustainable lawn care service also has an organic treatment program for chemical-free lawns, safe for children & pets.
With North Carolina locations already thriving in Raleigh, Chapel Hill, Cary & Wilmington, Charlotte local, Phil Haynes, brings the clean, quiet service to Charlotte. "I am on a mission to rid our neighborhoods of noise, gas fumes and toxic chemicals one lawn at a time," said Phil. "Imagine, as I do, your neighborhood with beautiful lush lawns and well-kept yards but without the significant pollution from gas powered mowers, blowers & trimmers..."
Electric lawn mowers emit 3,330 times less hydrocarbons, 5,000 times less CO, and one-fifth as much NOx as gas lawn mowers. When the electric equipment is powered by renewable energy (wind and solar), the emissions are reduced to zero. In addition, the equipment used by Clean Air Lawn Care is 50%-75% quieter than gas-powered lawn equipment.
"In April 2010, the American Lung Association ranked Charlotte the 10th smoggiest city in the country. In 2008 Charlotte was ranked 13th on the list," said Phil, "We are clearly moving in the wrong direction away from improving our air quality." Clean Air Lawn Care Charlotte is a step in the right direction.
Clean Air's organic lawn treatment program has many benefits as well. Chemical lawn fertilizers, used by most lawn care companies, contain many known and suspected carcinogens. Chemical fertilizers deplete beneficial nutrients and minerals, destroy soil microbiology and contribute largely to water pollution in North Carolina waterways.
