“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about” Margaret J. Wheatley.

Contact the Township Committee.
Tell your representatives that the health hazards citizens are exposed to from two-cycle leaf blowers outweigh the possible benefit they provide. Many towns and cities have completely banned the use of gas leaf blowers (D.C, Larchmont, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and more). With your call for change they can enact local ordinances directed at protecting the public health. Write, call and bring your voice to town meetings.
