We’re on a mission to transition Toronto away from gas-powered leaf blowers
We’re a group of Toronto residents determined to create a safer, cleaner and quieter city for all
Gas-powered leaf blowers may seem like a temporary annoyance, but research has shown they are a serious threat to public health and the environment.
These devices are known to emit high levels of pollutants like benzene, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds, contributing to air pollution.
The toxic exhaust, dangerous dust and extreme noise they create is harmful to everyone – especially children and seniors. We should work collectively to ban the use of gas-powered leaf blowers in our neighborhoods.
We’re Taking a Stand Because
The noise of gas-powered leaf blowers is louder than is healthy for humans
Leaf blowers harm the workers who use them
The emissions from leaf blowers kill small animals and insects
Gas-powered leaf blowers emit toxic air that anyone nearby breathes
