UPDATE: (April 18, 2009) Many thanks to everyone for participating in this Great Green Giveaway. Congratulations to our 2 lucky winners! First Prize Winner = Beth Stockdale and Second Prize Winner = Allyson Ayala. If you didn’t win, don’t despair — look in the right hand column of our site, under Green Giveaways and try your luck on our next one…ya gotta be in it, to win it.
(Original Post): Kick off spring by winning an eco-friendly lawn tool. This awesome Great Green Giveaway is sponsored by Black and Decker. Our First Prize Winner will be able to spruce up their yard by using a brand spanking new, eco friendly, rechargeable cordless lawnmower. The Second Prize Winner will receive a rechargeable, cordless leaf sweeper.
They run on electricity. No need for gasoline! These lawn care tools emit zero emissions with no spilled oil or gasoline to pollute the environment and your yard. How cool is that? Save money, the planet and your hearing, (these are a lot quieter than gas-powered devices). The EPA reports that a gas powered lawnmower emits as much air pollution (volatile organic compounds) in one hour as driving a car for 100 miles. The Cordless Lawnmower is Energy Star rated, and will cost less than $10 per year to operate.
If you don’t have a yard but know someone who does – these clean and green yard tools would make great gifts.
1st Prize valued at approximately $400 + (plus free shipping, anywhere in the U.S.)
2nd Prize valued at approximately $70 + (plus free shipping, anywhere in the U.S.)

Using these tools mean less reliance on foreign oil.
these would help my housemate out so much, since he takes care of the yard. it would be a green gift to him that i know he’d appreciate.
nothing more to say than this thing looks cool!!! They would definitely get me out in the yard : )
Either one would fit my lifestyle as I lost all my lawn equipment in a house fire. Even my lawnmower melted in the shed near the house.
These two items would be life savers for me and for the environment, how could I lose?
First of Black & Decker makes great products. I love the fact that these run on electricity!! Great Green Giveaway!!
Just wondering when the winner’s names would be posted??
My Wife would love this!
My yard is not large, these would be perfect!
~TWO THUMBS UP~
These yard tools would suit my lifestyle very nicely! Our whole family has taken a more positive approach concerning “Going green”. We recycle, limit our water usage, turn lights off when we leave a room, carpool or make the most out of errands so that we save on gas, and even unplug appliances until we need them. It’s a great feeling!!
We have a very small yard and this would be perfect for it.
I would really like to WIN this. I need a little pick-me-up! Please enter me & thanks for the great giveaway!

These cordless rechargable tools would help me tremendously as I take care of three elderly women’s gardens and have a car filled with hand tools etc. If I were to have a leaf blower that I actually could start up without an outlet or having to pull the cord on a gas powered tool (a lot of times I’m just not strong enough) that would make my job a lot easier. Oh and I could take these to the cemetary where I maintain a few gravesites. Thanks for a great giveaway!
Hubby and I aren’t spring chickens anymore and these look as though they would be much easier for us to handle.
this would be sooooo cool and sooo green
please enter me
thanks
We have a nice small yard with lots of trees and these would be wonderful for us!
I have responded to the email already & would like to very publicly say ‘Thank you!!!!’ This is so awesome!
These would B A helpful alternative in keeping the air from getting polluted, since they R Rechargable powered instead.
I would really like to get this.
I use Black and Decker for everything I possibily can in my home, from the kitchen to the lawn. I have total trust in the reliability and durability of Black and Decker products.
If you really want to go green..you would support wind an solar energy.Then use a corded lawn mower.These batteries can only be recharged so many times.They become less effective as time goes by.You can only recharge then so many times.Then you need to replace that battery.No matter what the company claims,there are still hazadorous materials released in or earth…One Planet..One Human Race…
