CALIFORNIA - You may have to give up that lawnmower or leaf blower.

The state is considering a ban on gas-powered lawn equipment.

Some 60 cities in California already have some form of a ban on gas-powered garden tools. Those include Los Gatos, Mill Valley, Sonoma, and Berkeley.

People in Chico today shared their thoughts on the potential ban.

“I would be against it,” Chico resident, Don Eggert said. “I personally use one myself for certain jobs. It’s more effective and efficient.”

Another Chico resident, Bud Tracy, said voiced his opinion saying, we don’t need any more regulations.

“Every time we put out a new regulation and it needs to be enforced, it just complicates everything. I can understand the noise outside your bedroom window at certain times of the day but that's about it.”

Advocates for the ban said it would help ease negative impacts on the environment.

The California Air Resources Board said running a gas-powered lawnmower for an hour creates the same amount of air pollution as a Toyota Camry driving from Los Angeles to Las Vegas.
