First Non-Profit of it's Kind
Founding
Ghost Carbon is a 501(c)(3) non profit founded by Steven Van Alen in 2015 in Las Angeles, California. It was the first non-profit in the world to advocate for cleaner practices in the landscape sector.
Why Landscape Equipment?
Landscape equipment contributes significantly to local pollution (10-15%) and wakes people up early on their day off. Gas-powered equipment exposes landscapers to harmful emissions, loud noise, physical strain, and long-term health risks. By switching to battery power, we can solve multiple major problems at once.
Our Commitment
At Ghost Carbon, we are committed to our cause and hold ourselves accountable for driving change. We strive to continuously engage and inspire individuals to embrace electric lawn equipment, empowering them to make a real difference in reducing emissions and promoting environmental sustainability.
