Sears Offers New "Live Green" Choices for Outdoor Chores at Reduced Prices

This Week's "Tractorama!" sale Features Eco-friendly Electric and Battery Powered Mowers

TORONTO, April 30 /CNW/ - Sears Canada Inc. (TSX: SCC) continues to look out for affordable eco-friendly choices for Canadian consumers by offering sale prices on new "Live Green" electric and battery powered mowers during this week's Living Outdoors sale. The new eco-conscious mowers use energy efficient power and allow for low-noise and less-mess lawn maintenance, making outdoor lawn care feel less like a chore for customers and more of a step towards making a "live green" commitment. Sale prices start Friday, April 30 and encourage Canadians to make affordable, eco-friendly choices when preparing their outdoor living space for the season.

Choosing the new "Live Green" electric and battery powered mowers are not only better for the environment, they are less expensive to run than gasoline powered mowers. Costing only pennies to use each time, they require no gas fill-ups and are quieter than gasoline-powered mowers. Customers can also choose between cord and cordless electric and battery powered mowers; corded mowers are ideal for smaller yards while cordless are convenient for larger spaces. Most models have an on-board battery charger that will automatically shut down when the battery is fully charged. Some examples include:
