Supercool

Heading into Labor Day weekend, we visit Martha's Vineyard and discover it’s become ground zero for the robotic future of lawn care. Across America, a quiet revolution is unfolding—autonomous electric mowers are gliding silently across parks, ballfields, and backyards. These zero-emission machines couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Lawn care and gardening account for 4-5% of the U.S.'s total greenhouse gas emissions—a staggering number for a single industry.

Leading this charge is Adam Sloan and his company, Greener. It all started with a frustratingly overgrown lawn at Adam’s home in Martha's Vineyard. After seeing what autonomous mowers could do, he was hooked. Now, Greener provides these climate-friendly robots to landscaping companies, who install them in customers' backyards. Hundreds are already out in the field, with more on the way.

Landscapers love the mowers because they free up time for more skilled tasks. Homeowners love them because their lawns look pristine. And neighborhoods? Well, they finally get their peaceful Saturday mornings back.
