Quiet Orinda: Ban the Use of Leaf Blowers
- Target: Residents of Orinda, California
- Sponsored by: Quiet Orinda
Leaf Blowers also pollute our soundscape by broadcasting a loud and annoying siren-pitch noise that blankets entire neighborhoods, forcing people indoors or away from their homes in order to escape the noisy intrusion.
Quiet Orinda advocates the replacement of leaf blowers with rakes and brooms. Orinda can join other enlightened, environmentally-conscious California cities like Berkeley, Piedmont, Mill Valley, Carmel, Santa Monica, Malibu and others who ban or severely restrict the use of these machines.
We the undersigned urge the City Council to enact a ban on the use of leaf blowers in Orinda, CA. We ask that the Council consider the vast reservoir of scientific and medical research into the significant air pollution, particulate pollution, and noise pollution caused by leaf blowers.
We believe, after investigation, that a significant, adverse health impact from leaf blowers faces all Orindans, especially the operators of the leaf blowers themselves.
