Greenworks® Commercial Celebrates Sustainable Innovation at SkyFire Festival

In a significant feat for environmental representation, Greenworks® Commercial, an industry leader in battery-powered outdoor equipment, proudly received the Spark Movement Award at the renowned SkyFire Environmental Film Festival. This honor was granted for their compelling film, "Battery-Powered Landscaping – Ditching Gas for Good," which made its debut on March 27, 2026. The film compellingly outlines the numerous advantages of switching to battery-powered landscaping machinery—not only for the ecosystems they operate within but also in terms of operational efficiency and workforce benefits.

Organized by Urban Farming Education (UFE), the SkyFire Environmental Film Festival focuses on imparting powerful narratives that urge individuals and organizations to take steps toward environmental sustainability. The award-winning film highlights customer experiences from prominent landscaping companies such as Phoenix Landscaping, Northwest Landscaping, and Enhanced Landscape Management, all of whom have integrated Greenworks’ tools into their operations. Through testimonials, these companies illustrate how adopting the Greenworks® Commercial OPTIMUS Crew platform has led to remarkable improvements in day-to-day operations, resulting in substantial returns on investment.

Joe Roselle, COO of UFE, commented, “Chosen from three finalists by the SkyFire committee and sponsors, ‘Battery-Powered Landscaping – Ditching Gas for Good’ stood out for presenting a practical, solutions-driven approach to a real-world sustainability challenge.”

Partnership with Urban Farming Education

In conjunction with the film’s release, Greenworks® announced a groundbreaking partnership with Urban Farming Education. This collaboration aims to foster sustainability education and practical demonstrations across campuses and community spaces. As part of this initiative, Greenworks® is donating $10,000 worth of battery-powered landscaping equipment to further support community cleanup projects and educational initiatives.

The donated tools include the Greenworks® AiMowbot C20, an innovative autonomous mower that operates quietly with zero emissions, and POWERALL 24V Power Tools, which will be utilized in hands-on educational programs around sustainable landscape management. The first activations are planned for Grand Canyon University and Arizona State University, where students and educators will have the opportunity to engage with these cutting-edge tools, equipping them with practical skills for a sustainable future.

Yin Chen, CEO of Greenworks® Commercial, emphasized, “As campuses and communities explore new ways to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency, battery-powered landscaping equipment is becoming an integral part of that transition.” He expressed enthusiasm about the partnership with UFE, which will allow for real-world applications and understanding of sustainable technology.

This partnership not only brings state-of-the-art equipment to educational environments but also fosters important discussions around eco-friendly practices in landscaping—an area often overlooked in urban settings. The active engagement of students, educators, and community leaders in these initiatives aims to cultivate a culture of sustainability, encouraging innovative solutions to pressing environmental challenges.
