ATTENTION @epaleezeldin @EPA Subject: Request to Discuss EPA Regulations Impacting Small Engine Repair Education. Dear Mr. Zeldin,I am writing to respectfully request your attention to the regulatory challenges faced by the small engine and outdoor power equipment industry, particularly as they relate to the Environmental Protection Agency鈥檚 (EPA) current policies. As an advocate for sustainable practices, I firmly believe that empowering consumers with the knowledge to repair and maintain their small engine equipment is one of the most effective ways to promote environmental stewardship. Proper maintenance and repair can significantly extend the lifespan of these machines, reducing waste and preventing premature disposal in landfills. Through my platform, I educate millions of viewers on small engine repair techniques, sharing practical tips to encourage self-sufficiency and sustainability. However, certain EPA regulations currently restrict my ability to demonstrate critical repair methods, as non-compliance could result in substantial fines, potentially in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. These restrictions limit the scope of educational content I can provide to my audience, hindering efforts to promote environmentally responsible practices. I respectfully request the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with you to explore potential revisions to these regulations. By addressing these challenges, we can better support consumers, small business owners, and educators like myself in fostering sustainable practices within the industry. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the possibility of discussing this matter further.
Sincerely,
Bre

Why I started an X account? I am on a mission to speak with the EPA and it seems the best way to make that happen. Current laws prevent me from showing my millions of viewers how to remove carburetor limiter caps and adjust their carburetors (right to repair). Yes, there a many videos out there already showing these procedures, but in fact, if the EPA wanted to, there are already laws in place from the Clean Air Act where they could fine each person 10's of thousands of dollars for their videos. They consider it worse when a supposed "small engine professional" does it. The fact is, the absolute "greenest" thing a person can do is repair their existing unit instead of it ending up in the junkyard. As of now, if I sell a carburetor adjusting tool to one of my customers, I could receive a $3,750 fine, but they can buy them all day long on Amazon??? The EPA has made outdoor power product companies jump through hoops for emission standards, when these saws coming from China obviously do not have to comply. Many more users are deciding to modify their chainsaws for better performance. Did you know you could face a $5,000 fine for modifying your own saw or $25,000 if it is one you are selling? I don't know if I will get anywhere on my mission, but if I don't try, I definitely won't... @epaleezeldin
My first post! There's a story about why I have been sitting on this page for 4 years. Wanna hear about it?
When I came to start a page I found out there was already an account using the Chickanic username... I did not want people thinking it was me. Here it is, if you wanna take a look. @Chickanic 馃憖
After pleading with X for four years to remove the dormant account so I could have the username, I give up! 馃槅 @ChickanicBre it is!
