Dan Delventhal and Marty Murray mowed 4 acres of grass in Greenwich with push reel mowers to make a statement about air pollution and lawn care.
It was 95 degrees out and they pushed 3 mowers at a time each, mowing all 4 acres with no gasoline!
Gas-powered lawn care is 5%+ of the US air pollution – They avoided 4,000 auto-mile equivalent emissions in one day.
Mow Green is good for the World, good for Fairfield County, good for you and your grandchildren.
