The dark side of modern landscaping.
THE PROBLEM WE'RE SOLVING
Modern landscaping may look nice and tidy, but hiding in those clean edges and leafless lawns is one of America’s darkest ecological secrets. Every leaf blower, riding lawn mower, and herbicide application is contributing to a growing environmental crisis, where soils become impoverished, water is polluted, and communities grow poorer.

Fact 1
Noise from popular models of commercial gas leaf blowers exceeds 100 decibels. A jet plane takeoff or a siren is measured at 120 decibels.

Fact 2
Landscaping pollutants like pesticides, fertilizers, and yard debris are dumped in the same places we get our drinking water from.
Yucky
Fact 3
According to EPA statistics, just 33 gasoline lawn mowers can produce as much pollution as a car produces all year.
