Leaf Blower Ban: Public Info Campaign 👉 free downloads

January 31, 2025

As of January 1, gas leaf blowers were banned in our city, (Halleluliah!) but this does not mean the campaign will simply blow over. The legislative part is moving along, but the public information campaign is now in full swing among both residents and landscapers. The lack of information about the damaging effects of removing leaves with 2-stroke engine blowers is staggering. For those of you who are in need of highly visual resources to raise awareness among your constituency about the data, here are some free materials for you to download below. All materials were researched, written, and designed by me. You have my full permission to use them however you see fit.

I hope these resources will help spread information about how our default landscaping practices have become intentionally high maintenance, and in some cases performative, and unnecessarily expensive, not to mention unsustainable. We need to have real world conversations with all the stakeholders before the sixth mass extinction event turns everything into a deadscape and a perfect, green lawn will be the furthest thing from all of our minds.
