Who We Are
The Quiet Clean Alliance was formed in 2023 by three advocates with long experience working to enact gas leaf blower restrictions in their communities. They realized dozens of others across the country were facing the same struggles independently of each other, and that coming together as a coalition of advocacy groups would accelerate the movement and give it a stronger and united voice at state and national levels. No more reinventing the wheel.
Today QCA has more than 50 member groups, listed below. In addition, a growing number of state, regional, and national organizations have expressed their strong support for the cause (see Supporting Organizations).
The Alliance is run by a Steering Committee (which includes the three founders) and is guided by a diverse group of expert Advisors. Our Steering Committee members and Advisors are listed below.
Member Organizations
Member organizations are the core of the Alliance. Each group below is working to educate the public and landscapers about the harms of gas leaf blowers, pass policies restricting or prohibiting them, encourage efforts to transition away from these harmful tools immediately, and promote the many viable alternatives. We share information and strategies, support each other’s campaigns, and work with other groups to build awareness of the issue and grow the movement’s political strength.
