UPDATE:  9/19/09 – It’s official – Congratulations to our 2 winners  – Phil W and Sarah C!  Thanks to everyone for participating, and sending in such great comments.  If you didn’t win, don’t despair.  Check out our latest Great Green Giveaway listed in the middle column, near the top of our home page.

Revving up for the annual fall yard clean-up?  This timely Great Green Giveaway is being generously sponsored by LEHR, an innovator in eco friendly lawn care. Two lucky winners will be able to tidy up their lawn by using this Detachable Curved Shaft: Propane Powered Eco Trimmer. (Note:  the 16.4 ounce, “camping style” canister cannot be shipped, so winners will need to pick up one at a local retailer.)

Rather than spill gas on the lawn and spew toxic fumes around the neighborhood, a cleaner, easier to operate alternative is here — the LEHR Eco Trimmer…the world’s first propane-powered lawn and garden tool. The string Eco Trimmer has all the power and performance of a gasoline trimmer — minus the detrimental pollution and emissions associated with dirty gasoline engines.

It has zero ozone depleting potential, zero evaporative emissions, 96% fewer carcinogens and 97% fewer particulates than its gasoline counterpart, and already exceeds the EPA’s 2011 regulations for home and garden equipment. Plus, 85-percent of our propane is produced domestically so it reduces our dependence on foreign oil. And don’t forget, electric-powered trimmers involve a cord twisting round your yard, and battery-powered options involve “dealing with the battery.”

Fueled by propane and its patented, “Twist ‘n Go” fueling system, it will run for about 2 hours on a single propane canister, requires very little maintenance and starts at the push of a button. Empty canisters are 100% recyclable. Learn more @ www.goLEHR.com.

Prize value, $199 + (plus free shipping to USA)
