Let’s build a cleaner, quieter Toronto together.
Gas-powered leaf blowers don't belong in Toronto neighbourhoods.
If you've ever been startled the roar of a leaf blower gas-powered leaf blower—or breathed its exhaust—you already know the problem.
These machines are:
Among the dirtiest small engines still in use.
Loud enough to disrupt entire neighbourhoods.
Polluting the air with toxic exhaust where we live, work, and play.
Why does Toronto still allow it?
Residents are speaking up.
ENOUGH NOISE.
ENOUGH FUMES.
ENOUGH POLLUTION.
It's time for Toronto City Council to ban gas-powered leaf blowers and accelerate the transition to clean, quiet electric equipment.

Stand With Us Because
The noxious fumes blasted out pose a real and preventable danger to our health.
Over two hundred cities in the USA and Canada have banned their use.
The high-velocity blast of air strips away critical habitat and may injure insects — including bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
The noise can exceed safe limits for human hearing and can cause permanent hearing loss.
