James Turner of Wilmington, NC has won the opportunity tocleanairlawncare be the newest franchisee of a Clean Air Lawn Care business. Only the second Clean Air Lawn Care in North Carolina, Mr. Turner is excited to bring an eco-friendly business to the area and spread the word about environmental issues. Clean Air Lawn Care is a partner of Carbonfund.org. After he completes corporate training and paperwork, Mr. Turner says the business will be ready to launch by summer.

Clean Air Lawn Care franchisees use biodiesel-powered and electric landscaping equipment powered by wind energy overnight and solar energy on-the-go. Each truck has a solar system mounted on the back of the vehicle that charges the equipment. They also offer organic fertilization and treatment, and reduce their emissions with Carbonfund.org in support of our third-party validated carbon reduction projects.

d2At Carbonfund.org, our motto is Reduce What You Can, Offset What You Can’t. As we all do a bit of spring cleaning and prepare for Earth Day, I wanted to share some ways to reduce our energy consumption and help our planet.

  1. Use solar garden lanterns instead of conventional lights to highlight your patio or garden – they can last for twenty years! For example, you can use promo code 10OffLampPosts to save 10% on solar lamp posts and get free shipping.
  2. Consider a rain barrel for your side or back yard.  Rain barrels not only curb high water usage, but they decrease the amount of storm water runoff in city drains after heavy rains. Plus, they’re stylish.
  3. Plant a tree! Trees absorb carbon dioxide, control water runoff, and provide a great weekend activity for your family.  If you don’t have space to plant a tree, or to make a donation to support our tree planting effort, please participate in our Million Tree Challenge.

This spring is a great time to celebrate the outdoors by keeping it beautiful, clean, and safe for future generations. Remember to Reduce What You Can, Offset What You Can’t.

Happy Spring!
