Project EverGreen has unveiled an exciting new feature for its groundbreaking Clean Air Calculator (CAC): a mobile drawing tool that allows users to easily map their green spaces and learn the amount of clean air they generate directly from their smartphones or tablets.
The new “mobile paint brush” makes mapping properties of any size simple and fun. Whether you service or manage a city park, natural grass sports field, corporate campus, residential lawn, or golf course, the CAC is the only platform that measures how much carbon green space sequesters as well as the amount of clean air it produces.
“Healthy green spaces – grass, trees, and shrubs – are one of the most effective natural ways to capture carbon and improve air quality in our communities,” said Cindy Code, Executive Director of Project EverGreen. “With our new mobile drawing tool, anyone can now see the measurable environmental benefits of their green space right at their fingertips.”
Once a property is mapped, users receive a customized environmental impact report detailing:
- Carbon sequestered by the landscape
- Clean air produced annually
- Miles of emissions offset
- Number of people benefiting from the green space
Business Benefits for Landscape Contractors and Lawn Care Professionals
For landscape contractors and lawn care professionals, the CAC offers more than just an environmental snapshot. It is also a powerful business development and marketing tool.
By quantifying the clean air and carbon sequestration benefits your clients’ landscapes provide, you can differentiate your services, demonstrate measurable value, and strengthen customer relationships. Sharing customized reports helps homeowners, property managers, HOAs, and municipalities clearly see the positive impact of maintaining healthy green spaces, turning sustainability into a strong selling point.
In addition, the CAC can enhance team training and client education efforts by helping crews and customers understand how proper turf, tree, and shrub care contributes to cleaner, healthier communities. Whether incorporated into proposals, maintenance plans, or social media content, the CAC’s data-backed insights position your company as a trusted partner in environmental stewardship and community well-being.
