DALLAS – According to the city officials, some of the council members are afraid there are not good alternatives in cleaning the leaves on the streets.
Studies have shown that using gas-powered leaf blowers are dangerous for the environment as they are polluting the air and one simple comparison with a vehicle shows how bad they are.
Some claim that despite being environmental unfriendly, there are not enough good alternatives to the gas-powered leaf blowers.
Banning the gas leaf blowers will cost people more because it’s proven that gas leaf blowers are at least three times more efficient compared to everything else.
The only alternative to gas leaf blowers is the electric leaf blowers, but they only last not more than an hour.
The city’s environmental commission was asked to report back to the city council with regulation proposals in September.
