Going Green

Javier Moreno, Director of Maintenance at the Fowler Unified School District, demonstrated remarkable initiative by submitting a grant proposal to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The proposal’s primary goal was the responsible disposal of two outdated gas-powered mowers. This commendable effort led to the approval of a $15,000 grant, which was promptly allocated for the acquisition of two electric mowers. This forward-thinking approach not only supports environmental sustainability objectives but also establishes a precedent for the adoption of eco-friendly equipment. This transition reduces carbon emissions to a cleaner, greener future within the San Joaquin Valley region.
