Colorado needs to continue taking steps to reduce harmful emissions

 Colorado needs to continue taking steps to reduce harmful emissions from the oil and gas industry and to keep encouraging people to find alternate modes of travel to gas-powered cars, Schatz said.

She also has worked with the state on a plan to eliminate gas-powered lawn and garden equipment because of the pollution created by lawnmowers, weed trimmers, chainsaws and leaf blowers. The Regional Air Quality Council has sent a proposal to the state’s Air Quality Control Commission that would restrict the use of such equipment along the northern Front Range. The commission will consider it next week during its September meeting.

“It is shockingly polluting,” she said. “We can get a lot of the cuts we need by eliminating the dirty gas-powered lawn and garden equipment.”

Taking steps to eliminate human-caused pollution is the only reliable way to improve air quality, Schatz said.

“Every amount of ozone pollution we can cut from the air has a real benefit to our health,” she said. “That will help ensure whether we have sunny skies or cloudy skies that we have air that is safer to breathe.”
