Job Posting: Organic Lawn Care Specialist & Coordinator
Seeking experienced lawn care and eco-minded staff for growing gas-free organic lawn care business operating in Fairfield, New Haven & Westchester Counties.
About Us/Mission/Vision/Values
Our mission is simply to get the gas off the grass! 5-10% of the US carbon footprint (EPA estimate) and other air pollution is attributed to gas-based lawn care—we hope to avoid this point source pollution by promoting zero-emission, electric and organic lawn care. We use all battery-powered gear charged with either solar or 100% renewable electric energy and MowGreen buys carbon credits to offset gas used in vehicles for transport between work sites, making us a carbon-neutral company. We also want to help people reduce their lawns, ideally with native and edible plants. Less lawn mowing and more food growing!
Our vision is to create a national network of locally managed and centrally supported eco-friendly gardening and lawn care. Due to our success and rapid growth, we are seeking to expand our team. Join us in the movement!
Our values include Reduction, Ecology, Ethics, Life-sustaining, Respect, Effectiveness, Efficiency, & Lasting value (REEL).
