Why this petition matters

Started by Rosalind Doremus

Not many people know that a gas-powered leaf blower can emit as much noxious fumes as a small car. These fumes are not only toxic and dangerous for humans, but they harm birds, insects, and other wildlife critters just the same. The incessant noise that these machines create is also unbearable to wildlife, pushing them away, leaving less and less places for them to go.

Simply put, we are killing our local ecosystems and greenspaces, further pushing ALL life forms closer to extinction, when we are already walking a fine line! It is time we start making better decisions for ourselves, our communities, and our home planet. 

This is an EASY change that we can start with in our own community. If you care about the future of our natural world and the next generation of children, including your own, you will consider signing this petition.
