Sustainable San Mateo County’s recent webinar, “Our Case for the Future,” offered a powerful look into the landmark climate case, Lighthiser v. Trump, and the vital role of youth-led legal action in securing climate justice. The case, brought by 22 young plaintiffs ranging from age 7 to 26, directly challenges three executive orders from the Trump administration that sought to unleash fossil fuel production, block renewable energy and suppress climate science. The webinar welcomed plaintiffs Eva Lighthiser and Delaney Reynolds, as well as Of Council Philip Gregory of Our Children’s Trust.

For a commercial gas powered leaf blower, just one hour of operation emits smog-forming pollution comparable to driving a new light-duty passenger car about 1,100 miles! While more than 50 California cities have mandated a just transition to electric-powered leaf blowers, just five cities in San Mateo County have done so. In this webinar, two experts on leaf blowers share updated data on the surprising, but real harms of gas leaf blowers and how communities and city governments can protect themselves and to make our neighborhoods quieter, safer and stronger.
