Two twin brothers in Maine have fully booked out the calendar for their lawn care business, which uses 100% electric equipment charged with solar energy.

"There’s actually a wide variety of responses, but they’re all positive, everybody’s excited," said Philip, adding that not everyone who calls the brothers is aware of the climate-conscious nature of their work."Our friends were getting jobs, we needed jobs, our dad, the first thing that popped into his mind was 'why don’t you start a lawn care business like I did? We can put a twist on it.. making it electric,'" recalled Dimitri.

"As people move away from burning fossil fuels, there are so many opportunities to improve the way we do things. Does anyone enjoy spilling gas, changing sparkplugs, cleaning air filters or changing the oil on their lawnmower? Heck no, and the beautiful thing is that electric lawnmowers and trimmers have none of those headaches, plus no pollution and much less noise. That's why more than 60% of lawn equipment today is electric, and this clean share of the market is increasing rapidly.
