YOU WILL BE SEEING LOTS MORE GREEN PRODUCTS…HERE IS ONE WORTH KNOWING ABOUT

The Lehr Eco Trimmer -- Propane-powered garden tools

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.

Chantilly home owners who use a lawn service won’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.

A California Air Resources Board study offered that a 5-horsepower, gasoline-powered lawnmower produces more pollution in 1 hour of use than driving a Prius for 800 miles.

Yep…those lawn tools can put out more than noise pollution.  As a counter-point, the the Eco Trimmer by Lehris an interesting alternative.  It’s a propane lawn trimmer tool that puts out the power of its gas powered counterpart.

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 highly-rated, as well.

They are going for about $200 on Amazon.com and you are seeing them in major hardware stores, too.  You can get the pitch on why this product works well at the official Lehr website.
