Stop illegal equipment bans!

Small family-run landscaping businesses in New Jersey are fighting an unfair ban on gas-powered leaf blowers that impacts their ability to work, especially on large, tree-filled properties where electric blowers fall short.

We are challenging this in federal court, because the federal Clean Air Act says only the federal government can regulate small engines under 50 horsepower.

Why does this matter to you?

Because if local bans like this are allowed to stand, you could soon face:

- Sweeping equipment bans of all gas tools. In New Jersey alone there are 3 bills in the state legislature and two are ready to pass. https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/S217 and https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/A4666

- Bans on other gas tools, or even electric ones, as multiple NJ townships have started to do

- Limited access to emergency equipment like gas generators

- Confusing, inconsistent rules from town to town

We are raising $100,000 nationally to fight this—and protect your right to fair and sensible regulation.

The case is ongoing and the legal costs are significant. Your support helps keep the fight alive so small businesses can stand up to a well-funded municipal legal team, and hopefully stop this kind of overreach nationwide.

Protect your right to choose your tools! Please donate and share this cause widely.
