Feel like cutting the amount of pollution that results from keeping your lawn in shape? The metro Regional Air Quality Council will make the process a little easier on the pocketbook with its Mow Down Pollution campaign, which launches during Earth Week, April 20-26.
Details are still developing, but the nut of the campaign is swapping gas-powered mowers for a deal on a cleaner machine. All Colorado residents are eligible to participate in a virtual swap — details at . Weld County residents can bring their old machines (drained of fuel, please!) to the Historic Union Pacific Depot, 902 Seventh Ave., Greeley, 7 a.m.-5 p.m. April 25-26, and swap them for a discount on one of 300 Neuton power mowers, above. “Switching to an electric mower will go a long way toward helping clean up the air in your neighborhood, and the metro area,” says air-quality council spokesman Trevor Noel.
