Will the Ecomower Be a Household Mower?

jPede — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:39:50 +0000

We have to say, we stand 100% behind the Ecomower to date. According to their site and research, Americans spend three billion hours mowing their lawn and other garden equipment and guess what, those are usually gas powered which means about 17 million gallons of gasoline are spilled refueling these machines. Well we can all take a stand this time by purchasing the Ecomower as it’s an eco-friendly lawn mower movement, making it easy and enjoyable for any individual to eliminate their climate impact and transform lawn mowing to a clean future. A few reasons we are behind this eco friendly lawnmoer are that gas powered mowers produce way too many pollutants including including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, ozone precursors, and carbon dioxide. Just think about this for a minute, mowing the lawn with a gas powered mower will produce the same air pollution as a car driving 1300 – 2000+ miles. That number is just staggering to us. The reason behind that is because small engines like a gas powered lawn mower are big polluters.

The Ecomower comes in four different styles and best of all, the price is more affordable or just as affordable as a gas pollutant mower. What also makes this mower great is that anyone in the family can use this including your younger children, you don’t have to worry about the little one getting their fingers or other body parts stuck or cut by those sharp blades from a gas mower.

Whether you choose the brand new RazorCut 38 or the MM1 Manual mower, you will be sure that you will get a great looking cut lawn as well as protecting the environment at the same time.
