Gas-powered leaf blowers. Why oh why do people / lawn care companies use gas-powered leaf blowers? Especially during the spring/summer months?!
I constantly see people using them to blow their sidewalks and driveways. FFS! Just leave the clippings be! They’ll eventually be blown away by the wind and decompose in the lawn.
Speaking of that, not only aew they annoying, they are bad for the environment.
“A 2011 study by Edmunds found that a two-stroke gasoline-powered leaf blower spewed out more pollution than a 6,200-pound Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup truck.” NYTimes
I worked as a landscaper for about 5 minutes and the only thing worse than having to listen to them sporadically is listening to them all day
It’s all about the illusion of mastery over nature. Note, it is autumn, behold, there are no leaves on my yard, for I am the master of my own destiny and controller of worlds.
My neighbour goes full ghost buster backpack multiple times a week on top of mowing their grass just as frequently, which is now moss because they never let the grass grow. Everybody has something I guess lmao
My least favorite move is people who drive around blind turns in the wrong lane. Boils my blood. Wanna choke slam them and throw their keys off a cliff. Have some freakin respect for other peoples lives🤬
Yeah I got an electric weed-eater. I worked landscaping for years, no telling how much pollution I put up. I don’t leaf blow any more, but then I don’t live in a place where I get told what to do with my yard.
Great remove yourself (the offending carbon) first and save the whales. Talk about MY leaf blower instead of the mega corps polluting the planet. It’s my fault right? Al Gore would like you. TV news much?
It’s quicker and more effective than raking But not starting at 7am on a Saturday morning when I usually hear it Its fire season so those dead leaves need to go!
