Last Saturday's Green Your Lawn event at Fairfax Ace Hardware, with Clean Air Partners, helped residents swap noisy gas lawn tools for cleaner electric ones! 🍃

Over two dozen people traded in gas equipment and many won electric mowers, trimmers, and blowers. Visitors also explored the Backyard Bubble exhibit to learn how everyday choices can cut air pollution and noise, supporting Fairfax County’s climate and air quality goals.

Thanks to Supervisor Dalia Palchik, City of Fairfax Mayor Catherine Read, and Councilmember Tom Peterson for their support!
