Reel Mower Rebate Program Promotes Clean Air
WHITEHORSE -Yukoners can save money by purchasing a people-powered push reel lawn mower before August 15 with a $50 cash rebate from the Government of Yukon.
Energy, Mines and Resources' Energy Solutions Centre is offering the Yukon Push Reel Lawn Mower Rebate Program as their latest effort to help Yukoners understand the environmental benefits of clean energy technologies.
"The Yukon Push Reel Lawn Mower Rebate Program is an example of how the Government of Yukon continues to support and promote a healthier environment," Energy, Mines and Resources Minister Archie Lang said. "By switching to a reel lawn mower, Yukoners will not only reduce air and noise pollution, and greenhouse gases, but they will also save money."
To receive the rebate, purchasers of push reel lawn mowers can complete an application form and send it with their proof of purchase to the Yukon Energy Solutions Centre by August 31.
