Introduction
People and companies who use gas-powered lawn and landscaping equipment may not have the spare money to change out their expensive machines for quieter, more climate friendly alternatives. This page is intended to help people and landscaping companies access government programs, grants, subsidies, etc. which may help them make the shift to electric or other eco-friendly alternatives.

The Quiet Clean Alliance "was formed in 2023 by three advocates with long experience working to enact gas leaf blower restrictions in their communities. They realized dozens of others across the country were facing the same struggles independently of each other, and that coming together as a coalition of advocacy groups would accelerate the movement and give it a stronger and united voice at state and national levels. No more reinventing the wheel.
Today QCA has more than 50 member groups, listed below. In addition, a growing number of state, regional, and national organizations have expressed their strong support for the cause (see Supporting Organizations)."

“The big picture is that cars have gotten cleaner and cleaner and cleaner and cleaner, and this kind of equipment has not,” Brauer said. “And so this has become evident as a more important source of pollution.” Because vehicle regulations have become so strict in California, for example, small, off-road engines like those found in leaf blowers emit more smog-producing emissions than all the 14 million passenger cars in the state." - Grist: Leaf Blower Bans Air Pollution Noise
