Garden-sized signs promoting the use of electric blowers—rather than noisy, unhealthy
gas leaf blowers—are sprouting up across Silver Lake, thanks to a new Silver Lake
Together campaign. The advocacy organization is offering free “Take Charge” signs to
residents and businesses who support the use of electric blowers, brooms and rakes and
would like to encourage their neighbors to switch to an environmentally friendly
option. Campaign organizers note that the noise and air pollution created by gas leaf
blowers is a growing concern in Silver Lake. Gas blowers are also illegal and are
dangerous to the health of the person using the blower. The eye-catching signs feature a
“take charge” cartoon character.
