Comment
"Small Off-Road Engines" can be a source of pollution and MUST be
included as you limit emissions. As a nation, we must strive to go
beyond "net zero" to ensure that we are not just eliminating
greenhouse gases but also improving the quality of our clean energy
supply. Small appliances and engines MUST be part of the solution,
not continue to exacerbate the problem.

I urge CARB to enact stringent regulations to phase out the sale of
highly-polluting gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn equipment in
California beginning in 2024.

I was glad to see that the California Legislature also appropriated
$30 million for your agency to distribute to small proprietor
landscapers to help them begin to acquire and transition to new,
zero emission electric and manual equipment. These sort of supports
for small businesses are important as part of the efforts to clean
up our air and environment.

We in SoCal and around the world appreciate the efforts to make our
planet a healthier place and ensure a safe future for our
grandkids.
