Thumbs up for David Darby! He’s got the guts to follow his instinct, desire and green idea. And he is smiling all the way too! Darby is the man behind Fossil Fuel Free Lawn and Garden Care, a bike-powered business based in Southeast Portland that provides lawn care services in uber green way. Using only hand tools, he travels to his job on a bike that tows a custom-made trailer, complete with holsters for the tools of his trade — a broom, a rake, a shovel, and several other gardening implements. Tapping on to people’s eco-senses and contributing his bit to environment, Darby is also doing good for his business. Watch him in action after the jump….

He quotes, “Landscaping companies that have a lot of power tools and the big trucks to carry them around in, their overhead is insane. Our overhead isn’t that much and we can charge less than them and still make the same and even more money than they do.” He does agree that using human-powered tools may take longer, but he also charges much less per hour than other companies. Most clients are concerned about the environment, they don’t want leaf-blowers out in front of their house.
