  1. @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

  2. 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.

  3. It would be nice if we regulated or at least taxed both the #decibels and the chronic-illness-causing #pollutants from leaf blowers.

    "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."

  4. When the guy who invented the leaf blower died, did they just scatter his ashes over the neighbouring graves?

    (Yes, neighbours clearing their snow with a leaf blower is a sore point for me. The prevailing winds mostly dump it on my driveway.)
