Leaf blowers in general need to be banned. They cause too much soil erosion.

A number of states and cities are banning gas-powered leaf blowers due to pollution, noise and health risk concerns.

🧐 Cars are next, right? Riiiight????

Glad I just got one from a yard sale. I don't really have a use for it, just fixed it and think it is nice to stand in my front yard at the beginning and end of each day (within the legal noise ordinance) revving it up and blowing nothing. Just for my neighbours.
