For years, residents across Contra Costa County have raised concerns about the pollution, noise, and health impacts of gas-powered leaf blowers. Now, change is happening.
Lafayette and Walnut Creek have both adopted gas leaf blower bans, joining a growing number of California communities taking action to create healthier, quieter neighborhoods.
The question is…Could your city be next?
Join 350 Contra Costa Action for our next Community Climate Forum to learn why communities are making the transition away from gas-powered leaf blowers, and how residents can play an active role in bringing the conversation to their own neighborhoods.
Registration is required (Google Form).
During this one-hour forum you’ll learn:
- Why gas-powered leaf blowers have become a growing health, air quality, and neighborhood issue
- How California’s transition away from small gas engines is already underway
- What Lafayette and Walnut Creek learned while developing and implementing their ordinances
- Practical steps residents can take to organize in their own community and engage with local leaders
- How to answer common questions and concerns about making the transition
We’ll hear from Candice Rankin-Mumby, Sustainability Manager with the City of Walnut Creek, along with additional local speakers sharing community and city perspectives. And you’ll have time to add voice your comments and ask questions.
Whether you’re simply curious, concerned about neighborhood noise, or interested in helping your city explore a similar policy, this forum will provide practical information, local examples, and clear next steps.
Together, communities across Contra Costa are showing that local action can make a real difference. We hope you’ll join the conversation.
