Gas leaf blowers have been banned in 48 cities in California and heavily restricted in 55 others for their excessive noise, toxic pollution and adverse health impacts to the community and the workers who operate them.

Walnut Creek prides itself as a sustainable, livable community, yet we continue to allow the use of this dangerous equipment in our schools, public spaces and neighborhoods.  

We are petitioning the City Council to follow 48 other California cities and ban the use of gas powered leaf blowers in our community to improve our health, our air and our quality of life.
