Quiet Lawns with CT Sierra Club

Two trends are rising in Connecticut with respect to lawn maintenance. First, a realization that native plants can co-exist with traditional grasses, promoting ecological balance. Second, that using gasoline-powered lawn equipment produces high level of air pollution and noise, and is increasingly less cost-effective than alternatives. 

In this presentation we will hear from a Connecticut garden club that has direct responsibility for their town's public spaces. Also a discussion of the impact that gasoline equipment, both 2- and 4-cycle engines, has on Connecticut air quality, noise pollution, and community health. Also a professional landscape firm that has made the transition from gas to electric equipment. Finally, a discussion on how several Connecticut towns have enacted some common-sense boundaries on the use of gasoline equipment. 

The special guests for this presentation are affiliated with the Connecticut River Towns Quiet Lawns organization,   info@QuietLawnsCT.org
