"Imagine a Toronto of fresh air and birdsong — together we can get rid of loud, polluting gas-powered leaf blowers"
Join Gasbusters Today
If you've ever been disturbed by the deafening roar of a leaf blower or worried about the air you and your family are breathing , you're not alone — and your voice matters.
By joining Gasbusters, you become part of a growing movement of residents who are fed up with the noise and pollution from gas powered leaf blowers. — especially in the neighbourhoods where they’re most common. We care about our environment, our health, and the quality of life in our city. And the more people who stand with us, the louder our voice becomes. Together, we can push City Council to take real action — including helping gardeners and landscapers shift to cleaner, quieter alternatives
Two-stroke gas leaf blowers spew out up to 30% of their fuel as raw, unburned gas and oil — directly into the air we breathe.
Join us. Toronto needs change now.
We’re Taking a Stand Because
The noxious fumes blasted out aren’t just irritating — they are a real, preventable danger to our health.
Over two hundred cities in the USA and Canada have banned or severely restricted use of 2 stroke gas-powered leaf blowers.
The forceful blast of air can be lethal to small animals and insects.
The loud noise exceeds the safe noise limits for human hearing and can lead to hearing loss.
