Subject | Comment for Notice of Public Hearing to Consider Proposed Amendments to the Small Off-Road |
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. |
