People are signing a petition for Toronto City Council to ban 2-stroke leaf blowers and other garden equipment.
City Council is set to vote on a motion to enforce this ban next year. The petition is urging them to follow the likes of 100 American cities and the west-end of the City of Vancouver and pass a ban.
According to the motion, gasoline-powered leaf blowers and other types of small engine equipment are powered by inefficient two-stroke engines.
