        One hour of gas powered leaf blowing=driving a gas car from LA to Denver. Kudos to all involved. This is low hanging fruit in our urgent need to dramatically cut #GHGs ASAP. As medical pros globally recently said, no amount of warming is safe! #ClimateCrisis #HealthForAll

        Note that when this gets implemented is at the discretion now of the California Air Resources Board. Tell them we need it ASAP!! We have the tech and know-how at hand, just need the political will to implement it working with local communities.

        Including the words “gas-powered” in this sentence makes it seem contradictory: “New portable gas-powered generators also must be zero-emissions by 2028”. It also opens up the question if a seller could bundle CO2 offsets with the generator and claim is is zero emissions. 🤔😅

        I assumed it meant zero particulate emissions for gas generators, but later in the article it seems to imply that only battery powered "generators" will be allowed so I'm confused.

        Shouldn’t the state offer tax credits for yards that don’t rely on fossil fuels and irrigation to be maintained. Compost, rain barrels and climate adapted plants are the way to go.pic.twitter.com/o7WVtolJNx

        They used to do this, by giving cash incentives for home owners to rip out their lawns. That should be continued, although tax credits seem unlikely. If they did that, it would be a one-time only deal, I think, not ongoing.

        Manual tools are better for landscape coordination with compost and healthier for gardeners.

        Right, *but* then they couldn't do multiple houses in a single day and offer extremely low prices for their services. Something has to give. If they have to spend four times longer at each house, the prices go up 4x accordingly.

        This is always an eye-opener: “Machinery with so-called small off-road engines also includes chainsaws, weed trimmers and golf carts, all of which create as much smog-causing pollution in California as light-duty passenger cars,”
