TCM MoCo Fossil Fuel Powered Leaf Blowers Must Go!

September 14, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm


FOSSIL FUEL POWERED LEAF BLOWERS MUST GO! 

TCM MoCo is inviting you to a Zoom meeting
Wednesday, September 14, 7:30 pm
Eastern Time (Us and Canada)

 

Join with the Climate Mobilization, MoCo to learn more and how you can help! 

Bill 18-22, which phases out fossil fuel powered leaf blowers, is currently being considered by the Montgomery County Council. The continued use of these leaf blowers comes with high costs for our health, environment, and enjoyment of the benefits of living in Montgomery County. More than 100 localities, including Washington DC and Los Angeles CA, have already eliminated or limited their use and/or sale. 

Joining us will be James Fallows, a longtime writer for The Atlantic magazine and other publications, who worked with Quiet Clean DC to support the DC fossil fuel powered leaf blower prohibition which went into effect this year. Providing details on the MoCo bill will be Jason Mathias, the Policy and Legislative Manager for the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection, who led the writing of the Fossil Fuel Powered Leaf Blower Phase Out Bill 18-22, introduced to Council in June, 2022.
