From the Huntington C.A.L.M. site.
Huntington C.A.L.M. is a group in New York that advocates for environmentally sustainable landscaping practices. The initials stand for Clean Alternative Landscaping Methods.
It has announced an initiative by N.Y. State Senator John Liu, that would ban gas-powered leaf blower use during five warm-weather months of the year. The ban would start on May 1, and run through September 30.
That would allow use for “serious” cleanup purposes in the spring, through March and April, and in the fall, through October and November.
