Week 92 of 400 #15MinuteActions. Government Action. Help your local or regional government set up an electric lawn equipment voucher system. Mowers, leaf blowers and other gas-powered lawn equipment are pollution hazards. One hour of leaf-blowing is the pollution equivalent of 1100 miles in a car in terms of CO2 emissions, and also emits nitrous oxide, which is 300x more warming. Gas-powered garden equipment is responsible for 5% of US air pollution. The Denver region has an incentive program for replacing your mower with an electric model. This program could be a template for one in your area. https://www.mowdownpollution.org
