A committee with the City of Dallas discussed the possibility of banning certain leaf blowers that run on gas.

The Dallas City Council's Environment and Sustainability Committee held a briefing Tuesday morning to outline the problems gas-powered leaf blowers are having on the environment and why banning them could help Dallas more quickly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.

Dallas councilmember Paula Blackmon, chair of this committee, started the briefing and said the city is specifically looking to ban two-cycle leaf blowers. That means the equipment's engine requires lubricant (oil) to be mixed with the fuel (gasoline).

"Leaf blowers I don't think are going away," Blackmon said. "It's just we're looking at the two-cycle. Because they do come in four-cycle and they do come in electric."
