"But lawn and garden equipment is too."Silverstein and the council voted nearly unanimously on the proposal, which would also require commercial operators like landscaping companies to switch to electric lawn mowers, weed whackers and leaf blowers by 2026. Riding lawn mowers would not be included in the regulation, which would also only include the months of June, July and August. Homeowners with gas-powered tools would still be allowed to use them."The individual can use whateve...
