There are several ways people are making an individual difference to the environment, from recycling and eating less meat, to reducing our reliance on petrol and diesel-powered cars, and making our homes more energy-efficient – and 84% of those we surveyed for the #Challenge2025 Report agree that everybody should help to reduce the effects of pollution. . One area that’s often overlooked is the use of petrol power within the world of gardening – and it’s clear to see that it’s having an impact on our health and environment. .

Petrol-powered tools have proven to emit significant levels of emissions so it’s our mission with #Challenge2025 to shift the conversation from reducing the number of cars on our roads, to focusing on the dangers of using petrol power as a whole. . In 2011, a test between a Ford V8 Pickup truck and a standard 4 Stroke Leaf Blower found that the leaf blower’s tiny engine produced 6.8 times more nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide than the V8 truck’s engine – and 13.5 times more carbon dioxide! 🚗 . . . . . #ZeroEmissions #PetrolPower

In the UK alone there are an estimated 5.4 million people currently receiving treatment for asthma and lung-related conditions, according to @asthmauk - and air pollution is thought to worsen the symptoms of asthma and COPD. . By reducing pollution by 50% in public areas, such as schools and playgrounds, the rate of poor lung function amongst children – including other health conditions, such as asthma – could be halved. We know that it’s not only cars that are responsible for causing pollution around schools – outdoor power equipment is a significant contributor to air pollution in these areas too. .

Over one-fifth of those we surveyed for the #Challenge2025 Report claimed that the noise from petrol-powered engines has caused damage to their hearing – and we aren't surprised. Petrol chainsaws operate, on average, at 20 decibels higher than battery-powered models, and petrol mowers around 12 decibels higher than batteries. .

The unprecedented changes in the Earth's climate, because of human activity, means that many of the changes are now inevitable and irreversible, according to the climate scientists of the @IPCC. . One of the key takeaways of IPCC's research is that we cannot continue using fossil fuels in our everyday activities, and they're used in cars, lorries and many of the world's garden tools. This was something we at EGO recognised, seeing that action must be taken to leave petrol garden tools where they belong, in the past, to usher in a safer, cleaner future. This is #Challenge2025. .

When we, as individuals, are being asked to be more conscious of our environmental impact, should this also be a consideration for local authorities? We believe so. . But, 89% of UK Councils are still using petrol-powered tools, despite having evidence that they're actually damaging the environment they're trying to maintain. Battery powered tools are quieter and safer to use, as well as far better for the environments they're maintaining, with zero emissions produced at the point of use. .
