Gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers cause numerous health
problems and contributes to poor air quality. California
consistently fails to meet national air quality standards, which
means millions of Californians breathe unhealthy air everyday. I
hope CARB amends the regulations such that our air is healthier.
These machines contribute enough emissions, so close to our homes,
that urgent action is needed to eliminate their use. 

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. This is in addition to subsidies and buy back
programs already led by air districts throughout the state.
