| Subject | Leaves are called leaves because we're supposed to leave them | 
| Comment | We do need to just ban the sale of gas-powered leaf blowers asap, but we need a marketing campaign on behalf of a paradigm-breaking life cycle analysis of leaves. Add up the negative health impacts from the air pollution and noise, and the health benefits from pulling leaves with a rake or pushing them with a broom over to nearby trees or shrubs for mulch. We think CARB doing marketing campaigns to counteract the ridiculous think-alike habits and values promulgated by the marketers of stuff we don't need COULD measurably reduce GHGs. It could be a challenge campaign with other states and nations to see who can decrease the gas-powered leaf-blower population fastest.  |
