Seattle, It's Time to Ban Gas-Powered Leaf Blowers

The Issue

After the terrible air pollution we endured this past summer, now come the gas-powered leaf blowers. It seems like there's always something in the air that is harmful to our community and general public health. It's high time that we organize to ban gas-powered leaf blowers in our city. Please sign this petition and make your voices heard!

 

Taken from the Moveon.org Petition for the Same:

"Gasoline powered leaf blowers are noisy, negatively affect our health, and pollute our precious environment. Many are powered by two-stroke engines which can emit 30 percent of their unused gas and oil as exhaust according to the California Environmental Protection Agency. The American Lung Association states that leaf blowers "can pollute the air even more than cars." For more information, go to banblowersseattle.wordpress.com.
