Picture a Toronto where neighbourhoods are calm, the air is fresh, and the only sound is birdsong.
By working together, we can move away from noisy, polluting gas-powered leaf blowers and create a cleaner, healthier city for everyone.
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 signing up with Gasbusters, you’ll be joining a growing movement of Toronto residents who care about the environment, public health, and quality of life in our city. The more people who stand with us, the stronger our case becomes to urge City Council to take meaningful action — including supporting gardeners and landscapers in transitioning to cleaner, quieter alternatives.
We're a passionate group of Toronto residents. We want to focus on educating people to reduce the noise and pollution in their neighbourhood caused by gas powered leaf blowers. Together, we can make our neighbourhoods healthier, calmer, and more sustainable.
25% to 30% of the emission released into the air from a gas-powered leaf blower is toxic, unburned gas & oil.
Join us. Toronto needs change now.
We’re Taking a Stand Because
The disruptive loud noise often exceeds the safe noise limits for human hearing and can lead to hearing loss.
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.
They emit harmful exhaust fumes that are inhaled by people nearby.
