TAKE THE CLEAN AIR PLEDGE!![]()
On the first Wednesday in October, the Coalition for Clean Air asks Californians to take one or more actions to clean the air. It can be simple: combine errands to reduce GHG emissions from your vehicle. This year we spoke at the City Council meeting and described three important actions people in Glendale can take:
1. Make sure gas-powered landscaping equipment is NOT used to maintain your outdoor living and workspaces. Gas-powered leaf blowers emit carbon monoxide and particulate matter, and are not only harmful to users breathing in the fumes, but are a major contributor to local air pollution. Glendale has had a ban on gas-powered leaf blowers for over a year. We joined more than 100 cities, including Oakland, Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa Beach, with similar bans. Transition to electric and battery powered models! GWP rebates are available, and there are a wide range of models and price levels.![]()
2. Reduce the risk of wildfire, which releases soot and particulate matter, polluting the air and threatening public health. Follow best practices with brush clearance around homes. Help discourage illegal fireworks, which pollute the air, alarm pets, and are themselves a wildfire risk.![]()
3. Advocate for alternatives to legal fireworks, which leave residues of pollutants from colorants and explosives as well as from metals and fuses. Particulate matter concentrations can be up to eight times higher than normal in the hours right after a fireworks show. We encourage the City to seriously consider moving this next Fourth of July to drone shows. Residents can email the City Council in support of this change!![]()
