California will soon ban the sale of new gas-powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers after Governor Gavin Newsom signed off on the new law on Saturday.
The move is aimed at curbing emissions from a category of small engines on pace to produce more pollution each year than passenger vehicles.
The gas-powered equipment to be banned uses small off-road engines, a broad category that includes generators, lawn equipment, pressure washers, chainsaws, weed trimmers and even golf carts.
Under the new law these machines must be zero-emissions, meaning they'll have to be battery-powered or plug-in.
