You may have heard the news that California law will ban the sale of new gas-powered equipment. It includes lawn and yard equipment such as leaf blowers, lawn mowers, chain saws, and weed trimmers, snow blowers, etc., generators, and other off-road equipment that results in climate-changing emissions.
40th governor of California Gavin Newsom has signed into law a ban on new yard tools with small internal combustion engines. The California Air Resources Board has already started working on a rule to implement this. A lengthy process is expected to be completed next year. But the law Newsom signed removes any doubt, ordering the agency to apply the new rule by Jan 1, 2024.
Gas-powered Equipment’s Emission Is Bad for the Environment
The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates that one hour operating a lawnmower is the equivalent of 11 hours driving a modern car. The environment is currently a big concern all over the world and if you are contributing to emitting pollution in any way that could have been avoided, you must find a solution right away.
Thom Carter, the executive director of Utah clean air once said, “Instead of using a gas-powered snowblower, look to switch to an electric-powered snowblower." According to Carter “During an average winter season, someone uses their snow blower about 8 hours. The equivalent vehicle miles traveled for that, is 2700 miles. That’s like driving from Los Angeles to Miami. It’s a lot of miles; if we can remove those out of our air shed, we’re doing good work.”
Common Snow Removal Ways
You may have several snow removal ways in winter, such as, using de-icer products, pouring hot water on snow, installing a snow melting system where a heated area is created, manually removing snow with shovel, and using a snow blower machine.
The ways without using gas-powered machine is relatively environmentally friendly. But taking efficiency into account, using a snow plow machine is better. If we keep environmental concerns aside, manually removing snow or shoveling snow can cause injuries and even death. The Washingtonpost reported that snow shoveling results in about 11,500 injuries — including 100 fatalities.
So is there a way that is environmentally friendly, efficient, and safe? The answer is absolutely YES. The expert's advice is to move from gas snowblowers to an electric ones.
