American Green Zone Alliance and STIHL Inc. establish battery electric equipment advocacy campaign

On April 12, 2019, the City of Ojai, CA was certified by American Green Zone Alliance (AGZA) as the first AGZA Green Zone City in Ventura County, and the second city-wide AGZA Green Zone in the United States. AGZA and the City have retired all gas-powered machinery used for routine grounds maintenance and replace them with the STIHL AP line of low-noise zero-emission battery electric equipment. The AGZA Green Zone distinction now protects Ojai’s 52 acres of municipal properties, including all parks and sports fields and city hall, from the consumption, emissions, and waste streams of gas grounds maintenance operations in perpetuity.
