Big Discounts on Earth-Friendly Mowers |

Friday, 25 April 2008 |

 Who:
The Regional Air Quality Council (RAQC), the City of Greeley and Neuton Lawn Mower Company
What:
All residents of Weld County are invited to the Mow Down Pollution event at Greeley’s 33rd Annual Spring Cleanup Weekend. Residents can trade in their old gas-guzzling mowers for big discounts on new, electric earth-friendly mowers! We’ll recycle the old mowers and send you into summer breathing clear with your new Neuton mower. Just remember to drain your old mower of fuel before you bring it for exchange!
Where:
Greeley Farmers Market
902 7th Ave.
Greeley, CO 80631
When:
Friday, April 25 – Saturday, April 26
7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Why:
The RAQC and the City of Greeley want to help residents take care of our summer air. Quart for quart, gasoline consumed by lawn mower engines today contributes 93 times more smog-forming emissions than many cars. Models manufactured before 1997 (when lawn equipment emissions standards were revised) are particular culprits, contributing to ground-level ozone.
Ground-level ozone pollution is formed when emissions from everyday items combine with other pollutants and “cook” in heat and sunlight. Ozone affects our city’s livability and can cause attacks and symptoms in people with pre-existing health conditions, such as asthma or other respiratory infections. High levels of ozone pollution also affect healthy people who work or exercise outdoors. For additional information on ground-level ozone, please visit www.OzoneAware.org or the RAQC Web site at www.raqc.org or call (303) 629-5450.
