About The Campaign

The Mow Electric! Campaign is a grassroots initiative powered by Vermonters to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create more livable communities through the use of electric lawn care equipment. In order to achieve this goal, we provide resources to help facilitate a smooth transition from conventional to electric lawn care equipment. Additionally, as a grassroots initiative, we encourage Vermonters to get involved in the campaign by advocating for the use of electric lawn care equipment in their communities.

The burning of billions of gallons of fossil fuel by the US lawn care industry is both irrational and unnecessary now that practical and cost-effective electric equipment is readily available. Vermont is ready to Mow Electric!
