Eco-Friendly Sno Wovel Alternative to Polluting Snow Blowers
Snow season is upon us, and often neighbors are envious of each others gas-powered, polluting snow blowers that ease the burden of shoveling sidewalks and driveways. An eco-friendly version is now available that will be the envy of those competing to be the greenest on their street: the Sno Wovel Wheeled Snow Shovel.
The Sno Wovel™ is the only non-combustion alternative snow removal device performing equal to or better than a snow blower...Shoveling and snow blower injuries result in approximately 100,000 serious emergency room visits annually in North America. Cumulative injuries affect millions, resulting in lost time and productivity for recovery - all of which are now preventable without sacrificing performance. The University of Massachusetts, one of the top U.S. ergonomic research centers, has released the results of an independent study verifying that use of the patented Sno Wovel wheel-based shovel results in a 3-4 times reduction in lower back stress and cardio exertion. The innovative wheeled design allows for effortless snow clearing on all types of surfaces while avoiding twisting, bending and post snowstorm muscle aches.
I do not personally own a Sno Wovel, nor have I tried one, but I think this is an ingenious invention. According to
Eco Cycle, snow blowers "send 30 percent of the unburned fuel out with the exhaust." From noise pollution to greenhouse gas emission, traditional snow blowers are not good for the earth.

If you live in a place where a 3" snowfall is considered a storm, this thing might work. Up where I live (northern New England), a pretty normal snow shower leaves more snow and 6" - 24" would be 'no big deal'. I'd love to be able to find something without an internal combustion engine to clear my 150' x 12' dirt/stone driveway but this ain't it. Oh, and let's not forget the snow wall the town plow leaves at the bottom of my drive. There are days I want explosives to clear that big-block-o-snow-and-ice.
