Earth Tractor offers a zero emission solution; an electric alternative to air pollution


	HELP SLOW GLOBAL WARMING BY GREENING UP YOUR LAWN MOWER

• The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that lawn mowers contribute to as much as 5% of the air pollution in the United States.

• Earth Tractor provides a lawn tractor with zero carbon emissions.

• By choosing our electric lawn mower - you can help curb global warming. And with the rising cost of petroleum products – switching to electric alternatives is the new smart choice.

	Our goal at Earth Tractor is to reduce carbon emissions by offering homeowners an electric alternative garden tractor. We all have a responsibility to decrease the amount of fossils fuels we use. One way to do this is through our lawn and gardening activities. The combustible engine of a traditional gas-powered tractor or mower wastes energy and emits toxic pollutants. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), lawn mowers contribute to as much as 5% of the air pollution in the United States. The small engines of lawn mowers are significantly less efficient than the larger engines of automobiles. A gas-powered lawn mower produces as much smog in 20 hours of operation as a 1996 car after driving 26,000 miles (Energy Partners, Inc). The total quantity of green house gases have increased 16% since 1990 (EPA, 200?). How will Earth Tractor change the way you think about lawn care?

	Gas-powered tractors rely on fossil fuels, which create greenhouse gases. The following provides an overview of the greenhouse gases and their contribution to global warming. Some natural processes lead to release of carbon dioxide, while other greenhouse gases are created solely by human activity. Source: EPA
	• Total GHG Emissions have risen 16% since 1990 • CO2 was the dominant gas emitted, mostly from fossil fuel combustion. Gases created by human activity: Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Human activity adds to the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Any time fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, coal) are burned, carbon dioxide is released. Plants and trees remove carbon dioxide from the air through absorption as part of the biological carbon cycle. Methane (CH4). Methane is emitted during the production of fossil fuels, as well as by livestock, agricultural practices, and the decay of organic matter in landfills. Nitrous Oxide (N2O). Nitrous Oxide is emitted during the combustion of fossil fuels, as wells as agricultural and industrial activities. Flourinated Gases. Emitted in small quantities, these gases are sometimes called High Warming Potential gases (“High GWP gases”). These gases are synthetic, and include hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride, which are produced by a variety of industrial practices. Source: EPA
