Project EverGreen has introduced an innovative digital tool to help landscape professionals demonstrate the ecological benefits of maintained green spaces. The Clean Air Calculator, unveiled for Earth Day, provides measurable data on carbon sequestration, pollution reduction, and oxygen production for lawns, parks, and sports fields.
Interactive Mapping Reveals Environmental Contributions
The web-based tool features an interactive map interface where users can outline any property – from residential lawns to golf courses – to generate an instant Clean Air Score. This comprehensive assessment compares the environmental performance of managed landscapes against surrounding areas, quantifying their air quality improvements in concrete terms.
Empowering Green Industry Advocacy
“Landscape professionals serve as environmental stewards every day,” said Cindy Code, Executive Director of Project EverGreen. “This tool gives them scientific validation to showcase their work’s true value to clients and communities.” The calculator addresses a critical need in the industry for data-driven communication about sustainability benefits.
Practical Applications for Business Growth
Beyond environmental reporting, the tool offers practical business applications for lawn care companies, grounds managers, and landscape architects. Professionals can use the generated reports for client education, sustainability certifications, and community presentations – strengthening their value proposition in competitive markets.
Promoting Urban Green Infrastructure
The launch comes as cities increasingly recognize the importance of green spaces for climate resilience. By providing quantifiable evidence of maintained landscapes’ air quality benefits, the calculator supports advocacy for preserving urban greenery and justifying investments in professional landscape management.
