| Comment | I support the ending of the sale and use of petroleum powered lawn equipment in California for several important reasons. One we are burning our forests down because of climate change driven extreme heat. The Caldor and Dixie fires are Exhibit 1 and 2. Second, the emissions from both petroleum by-products and PM 2.5 mobilized all summer and fall are the source of long terms adverse health effects. The epidemelogical evidence is persuasive and combined with seasonal fire smoke, are the source of early mortality. Mortality for the operators has become an environmental justice issue. Finally there is noise and more noise with the clouds of road dust entrained by weekly gas fired lawn blowers. Climate change is killing our forests and the toxic dust is harming us. Please act in the public interest. Thank you s/ Harold M. Thomas |
