Leaf blowers were the invention of a truly short-sighted
individual. They are soul crushing and degrade everyone's quality
of life.

For people who live in apartment complexes, like me, the leaf
blower issue is particularly frustrating. As renters, we have no
say in what happens with the landscaping, and are at the mercy of
what the management deems to be an appropriate. I also hear leaf
blowers at work. I am a substitute teacher, and often hear them
during school hours. Do children need to be exposed to these
pollutants? Does instructional time need to lost due to the noise?
We cannot expect nature to constantly conform to our silly,
unrealistic standards. 

In a forest, leaves are considered beautiful. The thought of using
a leaf blower there would be ridiculous. Why is it so different
anywhere else?

The world has enough problems. Leaf blowers should not be one of
them.

Sincerely,
