Last week all of us in the LEHR family got together and took these pictures. While we were trying to get closer and stay in the shot, we all realized how far we have come in such a short time. From the EPA Clean Air Excellence Award in May, the Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Product Award in October, the Handy Magazine Innovation Award in November, and with a slate of new products coming in 2010 and beyond, it has been a very full year. With marketing, engineering, accounting and our executives all huddled together outside of our green building in Los Angeles, we all felt lucky to be able to do what we do in the context of something that really matters. As our CEO is fond of saying, it is the application of technology that has begun to destroy this planet and it is only through a more intelligent application of technology that we can begin to reverse that trend. Throughout the year there have been challenges, opportunities and successes. In the coming months and years there will be plenty more of the same. But maybe, hopefully, inevitably we can do something positive and change the way people interact with their environment one small engine at a time.
