Two Asheville guys are finalists in a national competition to bring a green business franchise to Asheville. It’s called Clean Air Lawn Care. Check out the video and Jonathan’s note, and give them a vote.

Dear Ashevegas,

My friend Matt and I have made it to the final round of a national competition to bring a green business franchise here to the Asheville area. I have attached a press release that describes the contest and the business.

I didn’t know if this is something that is news worthy or could fit somewhere in your blog. However, people could certainly take a few seconds to click the link and vote for us. We are trying hard to bring this sustainable business here to our area to benefit both our community and the environment. We thought this might fit well with the Ashevegas message.

As you will see in the attached release, the final round of this contest is where the public votes for their favorite video. All people have to do is go to the following link and vote: http://www.cleanairlawncare.com/opp2010vote.html.

Many thanks!

Jonathan Allred
