Gas powered leaf blowers are a significant source of air pollution
in the Los Angeles basin.  One hour of operation from a commercial
leaf blower emits the equivalent of driving a 2017 Camry 1100
miles.  While walking in my neighborhood, I am assaulted by fumes
from leaf blowers--like standing behind a dirty diesel gas bus. 
This pollution also impacts the health and safety of lower wage
workers.  Trade-in programs can be developed to mitigate the
financial burden on landscape workers.  

Phasing out the use of SORE quickly can have a significant benefit
in improved air quality and reduced carbon emissions.  This is
low-hanging fruit in the battle to save our state from irreversible
climate change.  Ban SORE's!
