Dirt blowers--when used as directed--are hazardous to your health and harm
the environment.

On May 14, 1996 the Los Angeles City Council will vote on an ordinance to
ban dirt blowers from operating within 500 feet of any residence in our
city.

This is the third effort in Los Angeles in nine years to ban the blowers.
Forty-two cities in California have banned the blowers, but the Los
Angeles gardeners' lobbyists and blower companies have fought hard and
thwarted the L.A. effort over and over.  They will again, unless you help.

Dirt blowers . . .Destroy topsoil . . . Are noisy and inefficient . . .
Are distracting and dangerous . . . fill the air with feces and pesticides
. . . are, relatively speaking, greater pollutants than the automobile.

The May 14th Los Angeles City Council vote is going to be very close. 
Please fax or phone your City Councilmember and urge them to vote "yes" on
the Braude motion to ban dirt blowers.
