Sierra Club Connecticut presents: Electric Powered Landscaping Equipment Demonstration Day + Hold the Ropes Advocacy Event
📍 State Capitol Lobby – South Side
🗓 Thursday, May 22, 2025 | 10:30 AM – 2:00 PM
Join Sierra Club Connecticut and key partners for a powerful day at the Capitol! From 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM, explore Battery Equipment Demonstration Day, where you’ll get hands-on experience with cleaner, quieter alternatives to gas-powered landscaping tools. Meet manufacturers, try out the latest technology, and see how these innovations can support a healthier Connecticut.
Why it matters: Earlier this session, House Bill 6263 proposed phasing out gas-powered leaf blowers, starting with state agencies and municipalities. The public responded loud and clear—179 citizens submitted comments in favor, and Sierra Club CT joined dozens of voices testifying for a cleaner, quieter future.
Stay with us for "Hold the Ropes" during and after the demonstration day for an opportunity to talk directly with legislators and advocate for priority climate legislation, including action on HB 6263. As the session winds down, your voice can make all the difference.
We also encourage carpooling and public transportation if you are making your way into Hartford!
