Become a Mow Electric! Advocate
If you want to help spread the Mow Electric! message and encourage the use of E-lawn care equipment in your local community, you can do that by:
- Post messages to Front Porch Forum and/or submit an article or letter to the editor of your local newspaper to increase awareness of the availability and environmental and economic benefits of electric lawn care equipment, promote existing utility incentives, and encourage residents to purchase this E-lawn equipment from their local vendors.
- Encourage local vendors to sell electric lawn care equipment, and support the Neighbor-to-Neighbor demo program.
- Advocate for the use of E-lawn care equipment by your town/city, public school, college/university, place of worship, etc.
Please let us know if we can help, and keep us informed of your advocacy so that we can keep up to date with the progress of the movement and support networking activities.
