"In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, a number of residents in the affluent New York City suburb of Westfield, N.J., discovered that being home all day had an unexpected drawback: the constant roar of leaf blowers.
“It became much more apparent to people who were attempting to work from home, or attend school from home, that there was this irritation in the environment constantly,” Westfield resident Lois Kraus told Yahoo News.
By November 2020, when fall leaf season had peaked, some of them had had enough. Kraus joined forces with a resident of Montclair, another leafy New Jersey town, to co-found Advocates for Transforming Landscaping in New Jersey, with the mission of getting state residents to adopt more sustainable landscaping practices."
Banning leaf blowers? No thanks that would never fly in my town.
Also, my gas blower had a freak accident and was run over by a car a few weeks ago. Since I have a battery lawnmower, decided to get the matching battery leaf blower this past weekend. My vacuum cleaner can push air harder, so back in the market now for a gas one.
I'd be fine with that. I am old enough to remember the time before those stupid things were invented. The noise is so annoying. Use a rake, lazy people.
