<p>It may be quite some time before the market for green products gets into full swing, but there is a lot that is starting to happen.  Take lawn products for example.<span id="more-3953"></span></p>
<p>Chantilly home owners who use a lawn service won&#8217;t see many, if any, electric tools in use.  Most lawn service companies use gas powered tools.  They perform far better, but their environmental impact is another story.</p>
<p>A <strong><a name="Califronia Air Resources Board" href="http://www.arb.ca.gov/homepage.htm" target="_blank">California Air Resources Board</a></strong> study offered that a 5-horsepower, gasoline-powered lawnmower produces more pollution in 1 hour of use than driving a Prius for 800 miles.</p>
<p>Yep&#8230;those lawn tools can put out more than noise pollution.  As a counter-point, the <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H1LS98?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=twb-blog-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001H1LS98">the Eco Trimmer by Lehr</a></strong><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=twb-blog-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B001H1LS98" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" />is an interesting alternative.  It&#8217;s a propane lawn trimmer tool that puts out the power of its gas powered counterpart.</p>
<p>It is supposed to emit 96 percent fewer carcinogens than a gas-powered tool while having no negative impact on air and soil.  And it has been<a name="EcoTrimmer review at LATimes.com" href="http://www.latimes.com/features/home/la-hm-majordomo2-2009may02,0,7568970.story" target="_blank"> <strong>highly-rated</strong></a>, as well.</p>
<p>They are going for <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001H1LS98?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=twb-blog-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001H1LS98">about $200 on Amazon.com</a></strong> and you are seeing them in major hardware stores, too.  You can get the pitch on why this product works well at <strong><a name="Lehr lawn care" href="http://www.golehr.com/index.shtml" target="_blank">the official Lehr website</a>.</strong></p>
