this april i have documented over 100 hours of leaf blowing ( so far) in the neighborhood that i live in. it has sounded like i live in a war zone. 9 hours a day, every day.the environmental pollution has been that of several raptor pick up trucks taking trips from texas to alaska every half an hour . that’s insane.
so many cities & towns across the united states are banning certain lawn machinery, including leaf blowers.
