| Comment | Dear Chair Randolph and Members of the Board,
I am a California resident and 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.
The use of gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers in particular
causes numerous health problems, and greatly contributes to
California's notoriously poor air quality. California continues to
fail to meet national air quality standards, which means that
millions of Californians like myself breathe unhealthy air
everyday.
This regulation will improve air quality, help to slow the climate
crisis, improve human health, and save lives.
Please approve and amend the SORE regulations per the staff
recommendation.
Thanks,
Ronit Rieser
