Gear up for a green spring
Calgary Herald
Published: Saturday, March 29, 2008Tools - Plan for a green spring in more ways than one, with help from the Home Depot. It is suggesting a range of tools that will keep your lawn and garden in great condition while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and your environmental footprint. Here are a few of the suggestions:
- Harness the power of the sun with the Solaris cordless, self-propelled lawnmower that will cut up to 930 square metres on one solar battery charge. Available for $249 at homedepot.ca.
- Saw through tree branches and small logs with the electric Alligator Lopper by Black & Decker, available for $129.
- Go self-powered with the Gardena hand-reel mower, featuring a maintenance-free ball bearing blade and a non-friction silent cylinder, for $229.
- Capture the rain with TerraCycle's Premium Oak Rain Barrel under your downspout. Available for $149.99 in select stores or by special order.
- Cut composting time with the TerraCycle Premium Rotary Composter, made from an old wine barrel and available in select stores or by special order for $149.99.
