A new report on the impacts of gas-powered lawn and garden equipment in Massachusetts estimated the devices generated more than 600,000 tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 — an amount equivalent to the pollution from about 135,000 standard cars.

I hate leaf blowers. I’d rather use a rake. I can’t comment on the landscaping business but when I see neighbors use them I just roll my eyes.
Yeah. Like almost zero impact (zero if exclude the creation process and calories you have to eat) and you are a lot more precise, with the only downside being that it takes a bit longer to finish.
Where I live leaf blowers are really rare. I see them as a very unnecessary luxury.
Leaf blowers seem infuriating to me to use. Where I live people even use them for snow clearing because in the deep cold the snow is light/dry.
I can often go outside, shovel, and be back inside when my snow blower and leaf blower neighbors started before me and are still at it. The driveways and walkways are the same.
I don’t know, I just feel like some people love noisy machines and could not care less about anything else?
