Can I Really Make a Difference with an Electric or a Reel Mower?

Yes! By purchasing an electric or reel mower, you can help reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other air pollution associated with gasoline-powered lawn mowers. VOCs contribute to ground level ozone. High levels of ozone can harm health, cause summertime smog, and reduce mountain views. Fort Collins is part of the Front Range region that is in violation of the federal health standard for ozone.
