| Comment | I support the adoption of new regulations that will phase out the sale of highly-polluting gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn equipment in California beginning in 2024. While these regulations do not prohibit the use of polluting equipment, they do propose restricting the production of new equipment to sell or lease for use in the State of California beginning in 2024. This is a modest but important step to advance greater use of cleaner, healthier and quieter equipment. As your agency's own research has found, the use of gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers in particular causes numerous health problems, greatly contributing to California's sad role as home to seven of the Top Ten most polluted cities in the nation. In fact, California risks losing future federal funding if we continue to fail to meet national air quality standards. |
