People depend on the atmosphere in their everyday lives. It provides them as Dictionary.com’s definition above says a layer of protection as well as a medium that transmits noise, gas, and information. That same medium that transmits noise, gas, and information is endangered because of the noise, gas and information pollution being generated from conventional lawn care companies. The green industry is going through a transformation as people such as you hear and know the amount of noise and gas lawn care equipment creates respectively. The problem is you do not hear and know that:

• Small engines contribute to 5% of the US’s air pollution
• In 1 hour, 1 gas lawn mower:
  • Pollutes the same as 40 late model cars
  • Contributes 93 times more smog-forming emissions than 2006 model cars
  • Is equivalent to a 100 mile automobile ride
  • Hearing loss is possible at 85db with gas-powered landscaping equipment operating between 85db and 110db.

Along with emissions and noise conventional lawn care creates a lot of waste:

• A 1000 square foot lawn generates 300 pounds of clippings annually at landfills
• Mowers use 580 million gallons of gasoline a year.
• Homeowners use 67 million pounds of fertilizer a year

With supply dwindling and costs increasing conventional lawn care is a problem. All of these problems will keep getting worse unless we take a stand to make an improvement. Take the A.I.R. Dare and try eco-friendly lawn care! Contact A.I.R. Lawn Care today.
