Gas powered leaf blowers are hazardous to the public!
EXTREME NOISE – High decibel, low frequency noise disrupts communities and contributes to hearing loss and hypertension.
HEALTH RISKS – Toxic emissions and fine particulates increase risks of cancer, lung disease, heart disease and dementia.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS – Toxic waste and smog-forming emissions harm ecosystems and contribute to the climate crisis.
Please join us to make our neighborhoods quieter and healthier by eliminating gas powered blowers and promoting safer alternatives.

The Aggressive Ways of the Casual Leaf Blower
“Clean up,” they say, filling the air
with dirt and exhaust. As if
you can more quickly rake in cash
by blowing it into the street.
With all the force — and foresight —
of a tornado. Such logic
flies in everyone’s face, yet passes
for rational self-interest. How
so many ignore it, I don’t know.
It screams out to be heard
from blocks away, even with
the windows closed. And the stereo on.
