@aSweetGentleman not just me then. I just took a lunchtime walk in suburban Sheffield and I could hear w@nk5rs with leaf blowers for 15/40 minutes. #sheffield #leafblower #antisocialbehaviour #NoisePollution

Can’t wait until humankind or better dumbkind pulls its head out and bans lawnmowers and leaf blowers and eventually the internal combustion engine. Lived and prospered for centuries without the IC engine. Nature was far better off without it.

"The two-stroke leaf blower generated 23x the CO and nearly 300x more NMHC than the 2011 Ford Raptor pickup truck. To equal the hydrocarbon emissions of about a half-hour of yard work with this two-stroke #LeafBlower, you'd have to drive the truck 3,887 miles, or the distance from Northern Texas to Anchorage, Alaska."
