ZitatNOVATO, Calif. -- If you've got a gas-powered lawnmower or leaf blower or any other garden equipment, you may have to give it up completely.
California is considering a statewide ban on the small-engine machines and Novato is the most recent city to make moves towards getting rid of them.
Mark Bailey, the owner of Buck's Saw Service, knows he'll have to sell more of his battery-powered equipment as he prepares to lose sales of another kind of inventory, blowers and mowers that run on gas.
Bailey says he sells about 500 of them a year.
"It's going to be tens of thousands of dollars," said Bailey.
Some 60 cities in California already have some form of ban on gas-powered garden tools including Berkeley, Los Gatos, Mill Valley and Sonoma.
