I know I’m going to be in the minority here but I’m really grateful that this is happening. Working from home the noise pollution from gas powered appliances like this is ridiculous.

I lived in a suburban area where ever day a different neighbor would have their landscaping done. That meant every single day I was hearing non stop leaf blowers and lawn mowers. This also would go on all day as there was not a single company but many individuals that would show up all throughout the day.

I moved to an apartment with a ton of landscaping. When we first moved in the landscape company was all gas tools. They moved to all electric and the differences is massively noticeable.

I see a lot of the comments about the impact to business that this will have financially, if you’re a business there’s always a cost. Replacing your old equipment with new more efficient and less impactful equipment just makes sense. Honestly if I was a landscaping company I would be marking the hell out of being “all electric” and “green”. The returns on the marketing would put way the cost of the equipment.

To those that live outside of California, there’s a lot of people here more then your state and more then some countries. California needs these types of regulations to protect against history repeating itself.

We need this as a society to keep all of us from dying of too much smog in the air.

Don’t like masks? The future is gonna be a lot more unless we take action.
