Enough is enough! Enough deafening noise, carcinogenic hydrocarbons and government waffling!
 
The blaring noise is maddening enough, but gas powered leaf blowers also spew more toxic pollution in an hour than a mid-size car driving from Novato to Denver! Here's a great overview of the problem, and solution.
 
Pending State legislation might ban sales of new equipment in a couple of years, but will do nothing to stop their use in our neighborhoods. Ever!

Our City Council considered a blanket gas powered yard equipment ban last year but ended up postponing action until later. Later is now! We need to make as much noise as the leaf blowers and get the worst offending, most polluting machines out of our community as soon as possible.
 
Corte Madera, San Anselmo, Mill Valley, Tiburon, Sonoma, Berkeley, Oakland and many, many more caring Californian cities have already banned the noisy, filthy machines. Why are we still tolerating their obnoxious and noxious existence in our yards and streets when clean, quiet electric alternatives are readily available and cheaper to run?

If you value clean air and quiet neighborhoods sign the petition, and let's get it done!
