In line with this practice, we have recently invested in purchasing some electric remote controlled mowers.<\/p>\n<p>These mowers are beneficial for several reasons:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Safety<\/strong> \u2013 the remote control feature makes it a safer option than traditional mowers. The user can operate the mower from a distance and it can be used to efficiently and safely cut banks and steep areas of grass, reducing the risk of accidents or injuries that can occur when using a traditional mower. The remote control feature also removes the hazard of hand arm vibration exposure which is a serious health and safety concern.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Environmentally Friendly<\/strong> \u2013 it is an electric mower, so reduces our usage of fossil fuels. It produces no harmful pollutant emissions and the batteries can be easily and quickly recharged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ease of Use<\/strong> &#8211; the remote control feature allows the user to mow the lawn without physical exertion, making it easier and safer for individuals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Efficient<\/strong> \u2013 the electric mower is quicker and faster than traditional mowers. It provides constant cutting power, which can lead to a consistent looking lawn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost Effective<\/strong> \u2013 the operating costs are much lower than traditional mowers; they require less maintenance and are cheaper to operate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Noise Reduction<\/strong> \u2013 the electric mower is far quieter than traditional mowers, reducing noise pollution on our grounds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/0a4f57e5-235d-4772-ad95-6fc1c9c55fdd.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2723\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/0a4f57e5-235d-4772-ad95-6fc1c9c55fdd.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"623\" height=\"714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/0a4f57e5-235d-4772-ad95-6fc1c9c55fdd.jpg 623w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/0a4f57e5-235d-4772-ad95-6fc1c9c55fdd-262x300.jpg 262w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2781.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2725\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2781.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2781.jpg 474w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2781-132x300.jpg 132w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2781-449x1024.jpg 449w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2780.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2727\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2780.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"927\" height=\"914\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2780.jpg 927w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2780-300x296.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2780-768x757.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2782.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2729\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2782.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2782.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2782-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2782-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2782-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sites.exeter.ac.uk\/buddingnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/303\/2023\/03\/IMG_2782-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Grounds Team are committed to continuously improve our sustainable ways of working and to move away from using fossil fuels.
