Blowers Suck
Ontario is going to ban leaf blowers and gas-powered lawn mowers and I say, hoo-fricking-ray for that! I can't get as worked up about mowers, but leaf blowers! I mean, forget the pollution for a second. The leaf blower has to be in the running for the worst invention of all time. Let's face it: There's nothing a leaf blower does that a rake can't do better. I take that back. There is one thing: For getting leaves off a composite shingle roof without removing all the grit, a leaf blower is handy. Otherwise, man, they're the devil's own power tools: Noxious and obnoxious both.
Okay. As long as we're banning stuff, what else should go?

Ban the Segway. Walk, for christ's sake!
How do you clean a driveway without water if you don't use a blower?
RVs.
blister pack packaging
how do you clean a driveway?? how about a broom or a rake maybe
Lots of things, but start with take-out food. Don't ban it but make the restaurants pay a fee for the extra waste. They can pass it on to the customer if they want to, doesn't matter. The thing is to attach a cost to it. If we could do it for to-go cups, maybe carbon would seem like a more logical next step.
Can we ban politicians??? And maybe Hummers
religious fanatics, corporate executives, packaging that's larger than the product, energy-saving lightbulbs until they can be made without mercury, ATVs, commercial crop seed...
sanctimonious environmentalists
sanctimonious gate-crashers
sanctimoniousness, period.
Let's ban homes larger than 6,000 square feet. I don't care who you are, you don't need more than that. Most likely, you don't even need that.
Tell that to John Edwards !!!
2-stroke engines
Junk mail, like the stuff I get from the Sierra Club.
touche
I hate to say it, but large families. Hey, they did it in China.
Okay, I'll bite. Ban lawns. Unless you water your lawn with brown water, you can't have one. There's just not enough water to go around.
re- above: no lawn, no lawn mower. it does have the advantage that it kills 2 birds with one stone.
I *do* use a leaf "blower" (electric) but only to suck up and shred the leaves I've raked into a pile. They then make great mulch. I have a largish lawn which I've mowed for years with an electric mower and a hundred-foot cord. In 30 years I've only run over the cord once. --Joan
Largish lawns.
I recently bought an old fashioned reel mower and at first I thought..what was I thinking? Now, after using it a few times I am not only enjoying being able to smell the freshly cut grass while I mow and also hearing the birds sing, I am enjoying the fact my sister is jealous of the fact that I am getting fit and trim using it!
i think that chemical lawn products should be banned
Which would you rather have, leaf blowers or less trees? If people have to manually clean up leaves you're going to see a lot fewer trees near houses. Ban the "drop in-the-bucket solutions" and turn up the heat on American Industry. Still number 1! (in pollution)
I'm all for a ban on leaf-blowers. Remember the old-fashioned lawn implement called ... what, a rake? Or how about a broom? How about a little more physical activitiy for a nation whose levels of obesity and cardiovascular disease (and resulting premature morbidity and mortality) are spiraling out of control? I hate leaf blowers and all yard items that create so much noise ...
Blowers (235mph muzzle velocity) very efficiently aerosolize submicron particulate creating an invisible plume of allergens, pathogens and carcinogens that remain suspended in the atmosphere for blocks and, even, miles.
Like using our air as a septic tank, we rely on settling and natural phenomenon (i.e. ozone, oxygen and ultraviolet radiation) to neutralize the harmful particulate. When the atmospheric "septic tank" fails we hope the body's immune system will protect us. A dangerous game of roulette.
Because there is often no apparent proximity to the source of the
particulate/pathogens et al, and combined with incubation time, it is very difficult for people to make a connection to blowers as a source illness or allergy. Asthmatics, allergics, the immune compromised, cysticfibrosis sufferers. Those with reduced pulmonary function, i.e. emphysema, and "healthy people" suffer and don't know why.
Blowers are often defended as follows: "It's just the same as natural wind": Natural winds don't often blow at over 200 miles per hour.
jet skis and snow mobiles...
weed whackers, for goodness sake! and while we are at it, Hummers, and styrofoam, and open refrigeration in supermarkets, and overfilling glasses with ice, and running an A/C or heat while keeping the doors open...and there should be a way to make the currently prohibitively expensive sustainable take out wares an affordable alternative for take out food joints....oh, and idling of diesel trucks....
I had a vision of society without automobiles...but that's pretty radical for most, so how about banning engine idle? Used to be folks let their engines idle in winter to warm up the car on -20 days. This summer, I've noticed several cars running, with no driver, for long periods in hot weather. Don't know who said it, but it is spot on: 'Too much comfort is a dangerous thing.' And we're beginning to pay the price...
fast food drive-up windows
Yes, Yes, Yes!! Jetskis and Snowmobiles!!!
Definitely SUVs and McMansions. Whoever said that bigger was better?
Oh, and what about suburban sprawl while we're at it?
I had my yard xeriscaped to save water. About 3/4 of the grass was replaced by gravel. I use a leaf blower because it is impossible to rake the leaves off of the gravel. Of course, there would have been alternatives. I could simply have kept the grass and used more water, or I could cut down the trees to eliminate the leaves. Or, I could simply let the leaves decay on the gravel to provide mulch for weeds to grow and use 2,4,D weed killer to kill the weeds.
Although I agree that leaf blowers are used too much, they do have their place.
I have an electric lawnmower. It's fine for a typical city-sized lawn, but I don't know how large areas will be cut without gasoline lawnmowers.
ATVs, Hummers, Escalades hell any vehicle that gets less than 15mpg
lawns are fine as long as you don't water them. So if you want a lawn live some were with 300 days of overcast skies instead of sun, i.e. the N.E. or N.W. I have never watered my lawn here in central N.Y.
If your lawn cant survive on the water nature provides you should find something that will. I guarantee you can find a replacement that won't require so much work to keep looking good.
Clothes Dryers!!! Civilization (last few pampered generations excluded) has actually survived with line drying.
Plastic shopping bags, single use water bottles, excessive product packaging.
Ban leaf blowers? hahaha, what a joke. What will the government think of next? Soon, they'll tell us not to use our toilets because it's bad for the environment. Give me a break!
overhead garage door openers are lame. Get the lard out and open that darn door manually!
Once its open, if you find an ATV in that garage that isnt used for work, dismantle it for recycing
The Highway to the Everest Base Camp. This is very sad. Is anyone doing anything about this?
Well, as for lawns Buffalo grass, a warm season antive prairie grass only needs mowing once a season instead of once a wekk and is more drought tolerant so you'd save on mowing but save precious water as well. Plant native flowing perennials that attract birds and butterflies.
Banning the incandescent light bulb and going to compact fluorescents and LEDs would reduce the need for so many of those proposed coal plants. Put forth an edict to Detroit that all vehicles will be gas/electric hybrids by 2010. Put a 1000% waste tax on Hummers and SUVs without hybrid technology. These are all doable now with current technology.
We are doing them and enjoying the benefits, including monetary savings.
What about states that require you by law to mow your lawn? You need a gas mower for that, or maybe a rechargable mower with a very long lasting battery. What if it is one acre or more? Memphis requires you to mow the lawn or they will do it for you at $250 per hour. You need a gas lawn mower to do that. Some of these guys try to charge $400 to "mow the yard" what a scam. I could teach a monkey to do that! When the yard man makes more than a lawyer, something is wrong. By the way, not everyone can do yard work. They maybe sick, too old or too fraile.
I live in Texas and everybody here uses leaf blowers. I hate em! Two neighbors near me blow their yard and driveway everyday. You can actually see the leaves that separate their yards from the others. Yes, get a broom! I add leaves to my compost. One can also just use a mulching mower to mulch the leaves into the yard. Natural fertilizer.
Leaf blowers are the most obnoxious motorized device I have ever seen or heard. The noise and gas pollution they create is just plain silly. Plus the guys who are stupid enough to use them will be walking around deaf in a few years.
Sorry to burst the bubble, but Ontario has banned neither leaf blowers nor gas-powered lawn mowers. This news item likely stems from a City of Toronto report that advocates the banning of these two items from that city only. However, this has certainly not yet taken place and probably will not take place in the near future.
You're right. I'm usually more careful with the facts, but I must have been asleep at the wheel on this one. The story says the city of Toronto (not all of Ontario) is looking to ban blowers and mowers by 2010. My bad. Still, thanks everyone for all the comments. And I hope you keep'em coming anyway.
garages that hold more than two cars.
I'm tempted to say heated driveways, but then somebody will probably tell me it's better than using snowblowers. So, here's another one: man-made snow at the resorts. Just wait for the real thing.
It is a shame we feel the need to ban anything. It is scary to think that a large portion of the worlds population cannot grasp the concept that we are destroying the very thing that sustains us. In the end I think education, not legislation, will have the greatest positive impact on our global climate pronlems.
How about banning water flushing toilets, and driveup or drive thru fast food, banking, etc. Both of the above are extremely wasteful ways to expend our resources.
Ban Styrofoam and ban weed killers. Pull the dang weeds up instead of spraying poison on them and waiting for them to shrivel up and sit there on your lawn, dead!
Ban any food product or drink that comes in a glass container, when, instead, an aluminum container is acceptable. I can recycle aluminum, but not glass.
George W. Bush
-Burning trash piles on public burn days! Compost it.
-Thick packets of junk mail from environmental organizations! I've too many damn return address stickers that I will never use! Use email instead.
-Lawns and excessive asphalt!
Ban gasoline-powered weed-eaters, snowmobiles, loud car mufflers and car radios that can be heard outside the vehicle over a certain decibel level. Also, ban driving combustion engine vehicles (except for emergency vehicles) one day a week. We could all adapt to it, and benefits would be enormous. Talk about reducing our oil consumption!!! And think of the health benefits!!
Advocate for changing the 'clean n tidy' laws, wherever you live, that demand manicured lawns.
Recycle your gas-powered lawn tools.
Get a goat!
Seriously! About 17 years back, Green Magazine, a UK publication, I think, ran a feature on tethering two sheep in the front yard ... if you have to have a lawn. Miniature Vietnamese pigs also work. (Rabbits are a bit hard to contain). And here in Greece, it's not unusual to see a large land turtle munching away at the small grass area in front of an apartment building.
Yet another alternative is to create a 'meadow' where lawn used to be. If your neighbours object to wild plants, you can put in a host of 'domesticated' and sometimes edible plants, landscaped and mowing-free.
I hope the ban doesn’t include electric leaf blowers, lawnmowers or weed whackers.
About 2 years ago, I bought all three of those and have been satisfied with their performances. The mower only had a 13” cutting width, and I first thought it was like a toy. But it cut very well, and the narrow width was a great asset, for I could get between plants that I couldn’t do with 19” or such. It was very light and easy to push, except when its leaf catching box got full. It provided great mulch. Its greatest fault is similar to other electric mowers in my past. They seem to die easier than gasoline models. One neighbor said he had a gas one for 25 years. I bought mine at Wal-Mart, and I went to several of them, and they didn’t have even one electric mower this year. With a ban, stores will provide alternatives—electric or hand-push models.
But BAN:
Gasoline weed whackers
Gasoline lawnmowers
Gasoline leaf blowers
Styrofoam
Plastics and Styrofoam are great inventions, but they are not kind to the environment. They litter our landscapes with unsightly trash, birds use them to make ugly nests, and they float in our water resources. Generally, they’re not biodegradable, but sunlight does degrade them over time.
Because I live next to our city’s recycle center; I HATE packing peanuts for they blow all over. I’d rather have people use bubblewrap in their packages.
Someone said that we need gasoline lawnmowers for big yards. But someone else asked about a rechargeable mower. There are electric mowers that can mow for an hour on one charge. So the solution to large yards is here already. However, for commercial lawn companies an hour is not enough, so not practical for them unless they could buy several batteries, and replace them quickly as others are charging on a trailer connected to the clients’ electric outlet.
My electric leaf blower is also a vacuum with a bag, so I can mulch leaves that way, also. Or I can use the vacuum without the bag, and blow shredded leaves in the right direction.
auto racing
Say "NO" to Nascar!
NASCAR is gay.
I stopped using the blower and got out the old trusty broom to sweep grass clippings and I use the old rake ... better for the environment and better for me to use my muscles and stay in shape.
And NASCAR is not gay.
what happened to just raking leaves or using a broom? That's why Americans are overweight and out of shape. Let machines do it all for them. It also leads to noise pollution. Get out an enjoy nature, don't make it chore with a noisy machine!
referring to the a comment up there- Bomnardier makes a product called 2-tech- for it snowmobiles, boats, jetskis, four wheelers, and boat engines- its two storke that is more fuel efficeint- has less enviromental waste- and more hp- ples it weighs less- its huge in outboard boating
^Bombardier*
Noise pollution offenders like jet skis and snowmobiles!
Ban leaf blowers from Yosemite National Park. I tried to last year and failed.
They should not ban anything, just make it more expensive, problably reflecting the real cost, that way people really would stop buying all that junk.
Ban the "Life out of Balance" (Koyaanisqatsi) lifestyle that our civilization is plagued with... based on unsustainable choices ranging from where to live to how many children we have, to what we eat and what we waste. Ban unsustainable nonrenewable sources of power, within one generation.
Do the opposite, and invest positively in building a local community and sustainable future right where you are, based on living in harmony with the local ecosystem. Bike, bus and/or walk to work. Pick up trash, recycle, compost, use a reel mower, setback thermostat, passive solar, active solar, native plants, edible landscape, and Never Give Up, Never Stop Learning and Working to Make a Difference!
Stop accepting lame status quo logic for why sustainable alternatives "won't work in this situation". Stop trying to live beyond our means, think about seven generations out and whether they will still have "enough" to live a good lifestyle.
Make it happen, by living each day the best way you can and by going the extra mile for the good of our one and only home planet!

Yes! Finally! I wish they would ban lawn mowers everywhere. Try living where your entire neighborhood mows 3 times a week and waters too...I'm not exactly a friendly neighbor anymore! What is the point in your lawns? Why do you clean up leaves anyway? Why not mulch them? What is wrong with people that they think they have to have this horrible little green fuzz growing out of their ugly yards when they could have so much more?
(From a previous post) "Which would you rather have, leaf blowers or less trees?..." My answer is that I've planted TONS of trees all around my property so that it is a natural, native wooded area. I've NEVER raked a single leaf since! It's "WOODS" and is accepted as such so there is no need for raking (or a leaf blower).
(Another previous post) "What about states that require you by law to mow your lawn?... What if it is one acre or more?..." Same answer; get rid of your lawn! I've reduced my 2 acres of property to an area of a few 100 sq feet so that there is (or soon will be) VERY little lawn to mow. It's better for the environment, provides natural habitat for birds, saves tons of money and time and reduces fossil fuel and energy use in general, not to mention all those free weekends you'll have now that you don't have to mow the yard every darn weekend! It is beyond me why people insist on have a lawn to begin with. I have better things to do than spend my free time and money mowing, weeding, fertilizing, raking and watering grass.
Anybody who equates planting trees with owning a leaf blower is nuts. Trees beautify and provide shade. We have planted and continue to plant trees in the 10 years we've lived in our house and we don't own (nor do we intend to) a freaking leaf blower. If the leaves bother you when they fall off the tree rake them up for pete's sake! Get your butt off the couch! Guess what, leaves make great mulch and compost.
How about banning the hideous chemicals rampant in laundry products. I'll be outside on a lovely summer day and am suddenly slammed by perfumed stink. How people can wear clothing that's saturated with the stuff is beyond me. It's harmful, especially for children and pets.
- Automatic toilet flushers. We have them where I work and, normally, when some one is using one the things will flush 3 or 4 times before the person is done!!!
- Hotel showers that you MUST turn on "full blast" to get the hot water on.
It's so nice to read the comments of people who are dreaming of the future they want. Sometimes dreaming is all we can do, until we're all having the same vision, and we start finding ways to make that vision real. I love the idea of banning leaf blowers with their noise and fumes. The workers who use them couldn't possibly avoid hearing and nerve damage. While we're at it, let's get rid of snowmobiles and jet skis These threaten wildlife and marine life, and they foul the earth and sea. In the era of peak oil, they'll have to go anyway. Now's the time, not later.
We need to get on the same page as San Fran...No bottled water or plastic bags...I live in Chicago and I get weird looks when I bring my own bags to stores....The plastic bag situation is way out of control here and the recycling program kinda sucks ..It's those "Blue Bags" you throw them into the garbage and supposedly they fish them out and recycle the contents....
I'd like to see McMansions banned (maybe over 3500 sq. ft.), huge lawns banned (unless they're buffalo grass, maybe), and all the dangerous pesticides that people soak their yards in banned. And I despise Hummers! Nobody needs to drive a tank unless they're in the Army!
I use an electric blower, mower, chain saw and i have half acre. Why use gas????
I don't like leaf blowers, but I am now aware of some practical reasons for some individuals to have them. Reading over others' responses, it's obvious that there are a variety of circumstances. I agree that old-fashioned hand tools and push-mowers are much better in general and especially the alternatives like xeriscaping, keeping natural areas with native plants, etc. Rather than trying to have an absolute law such as a ban, I think we need to work with each other on issues. There is a lot of waste, I do agree. Able bodied people should use their own muscles. People who live in desert climate regions should not have green lawns but for those who live in lush green areas, maybe it's not so bad. Rather than alienate one another and get nowhere, I am inclined to go with increasing education, problem-solving dialogues, etc.
I would agree on banning styrofoam packing peanuts and toxic chemicals in the private sector and modify those in the commercial realm.
I realized that these blowers were a pox on the world since i saw, and heard, my first. Where are you blowing crap?
To the person who asked how to clean a driveway without using water or a leaf blower...how bout a broom?
I agree with:

I think some of the ideas like getting rid of styrofoam and long-life plastics are great, but forcing legislation on people's private lives to this degree is insane! What type of government do you want? Reality says that congress would never go for most of these.
My recomendation is make hurting the environment or consuming more than you're share expensive. They tax cigarettes and alcohol, which consuming these mostly only impacts the individual... mostly. So, why not tax carbon, plastics, excess packaging, hummers, ect.???
We definetely need to stop reproducing at this rate! This will be the next centuries debate, I declare.
To many babies, to many people, to much sprawl... Leading to more carbon output! Duh.
Hope we don't destroy everythng before I'm dead and I'm only 25!
Water and overpopulation, United States' issues to come... you'll see with your golf courses in the desert!
Ban all politicians, they are the main cause of pollution.
Seriously, I think we should take action to revoke community ordinances prohibiting the use of clotheslines. Those of us who want to reduce our energy use should be encouraged, not criminalized.
Bring back electric cars.
There are a lot of things that probably should be banned, burning fossil fuels, using gas powered anything, stupid people, etc...but I think we should ban making too many laws. People vote "yes" on dumb-ass laws they know nothing about and Congress passes rediculous laws daily. America is going to have so many laws, one won't be ale to go to the bathroom w/out permission. I thought this was "The Home of The Free", not Nazi Germany.
If you really want to help the enviroment and reduce emissions that cause greenhouse gasses then why not start with getting rid of George Bush, (The Boy Wanna be King), Paul Wolfowitz, Condeleza Rice and especially Darth Cheney the evil overlord of the underworld of oil and let's not forget Halliburtin.
Take down the Oil masters by going electric. Check out "Who Killed the Electric Car?" it's quite an eye opening documentary.
We should also turn our attention to the auto makers. I spoke to my brother recently and he informed me that he just bought a new car. This car sold in the USA gets about 25 MPG, however the same car sold in Europe has a 45 to 50 MPG rating. Me thinks someone likes us using thier oil products too much.
I think it would be a good idea to ban leaf blowers too. I can just see illegal immigrants running back over the border in droves when they loose thier landscaping jobs. But then our parking lots, driveways and sidewalks will fall into ruin because no Americans will take tose jobs...Yeah and I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn too. Wanna buy it?
Oh and anonymous at 2:30 China is actually the number one industrial polluter in the world. Not that the USA shouldn't do much more, but facts is facts!
I'm sorry to say this but the lady who is using an electric mower is still using power most likely generated from a coal burning power plant, increased CO2....the fella that I date is constantly informing me of the other side of the debate each time I try to do something environmentally conscientious....seems no matter what I do there is still a manufacturing process causing pollution related to whatever I'm doing....
why not try banning all of the people that are obsessed with banning things. Ever notice that they are usually the worst offenders? And where does it all start? Someone out for a quick buck? Let me sue someone because i didn't have the common sense i was born with, take no responsibility for my actions and did something stupid -thus the over-packaging; can't fit all those "don't be an idiot" warning labels on smaller packages!- Or some Stepford wanna be do-gooders bored with their own extravagance and pick a cause based on..... what? Let's get down to where it starts. Lets ban anyone over 100k a year. That automatically puts a ban on politicians, CEO's, most Lawyers, 87% of the population of California, Washington D.C., New York (city) and Chicago. Let's face it-If you have to keep an eye on your wallet, you conserve, you are conscious and do without most of the stuff you don't need anyway. The people in "charge" seem to have forgotten that. They all want to be profound about their rise to where they are now, how they struggled to find their way but they can't seem to look around and see how lost they have actually become. I am sad to admit that we are not the land of the free, home of the brave; we are the landfill of the megalomaniac and the home of the self proclaimed omnipotent. Until we ban that, our children don't have a chance. Their only claim will be that there is nothing to ban, because there will be nothing left.
plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags plastic grocery bags
scourage of the earth!!!!!!!
I have reuseable nylon bags
Why all the dis on atvs? I think I do my part for the enviroment,line dry clothes, recycle everything, low mpg autos,raise my own produce, I hunt fish and ride my atv well within the boundry of any law set forth by NFS rules. We can all do our own thing if you respect the rules.
don't tell me what to do!
To whomever said "would you rather have leaf blowers or less trees?"
huh???? how do you figure it has to be one or the other?
gee, how long has the leaf blower been around? and how long have trees been around?
you do the math
i vote we ban Walmart
Okay folks, lots of good ideas here -- but really, how about banning California? And Arizona too, or at least the golf courses. The American Southwest including most of Southern California is naturally a desert. So what are people doing, growing things like camelias and ferns, and watering thousands of golf courses? Also, almost every restaurant in California has a fireplace indoors which burns all winter even when it's 70 degrees outside, at the same time they have a patio with those outdoor heaters, literally "heating for the birds" as my grandmother used to say. Of course these wasteful things are not limited to California, but they sure are rampant there -- and then they complained about their energy crisis....
Ban brown cars. Put a limit on packaging. Ban plastic bags and use cloth instead.
I agree with the person who wrote that we should ban Wal-Mart!!!! I have been boycotting them for years! I also agree with banning the leaf blower! It is one of the worst inventions that I personally dislike because it is a noisy, polluting contraption which is used everywhere, especially here in southern California. Every landscaping company uses them here. Air pollution is getting worse in southern California but we allow these leaf blowers to be used constantly instead of using garden rakes. We really have become a lazy society. I also agree that we should ban golf courses, lawns, mega malls, building of homes/industries in wilderness areas as in canyons/forests where it displaces other life forms, large families, welfare, corrupt politicians (that would be most of them) our foreign policy and our government!!! There is more but I think I will stop for now.
Ban outdoor propane patio heaters. If it's too cold outside, try the house! Propane BBQ grilles should be next...use charcoal, it's renewable. Ban all drive-up windows, period.
If that ban comes our way, we'll have to use a push mower on our three acres of lawn, or else pay the city $100 an hour to do it for us, or else get a hefty fine.
What happens to lawn care companies? What's next? Wood stoves? Fireplaces? Chain saws? Diesel trucks?
All cars should be destroyed and melted down into railways that will be used as free public transportation and will run on solar panels that line the railway as well as wind generating telephone poles created through any old metal from the gass-guzzling machines!
Electric and gas mowers should be banned! before electricity or the internal combustion engine people used magical machines called push mowers, have we lost the ability to use these incredible machines?
I second snowmobiles and auto racing. Also factory farming and cattle raising, since livestock accounts for about 18% of greenhouse gas emmissions.
Ban cars.
Why hasn't anyone said riding mowers? Mowing a 1/4 acre suburban lot is pretty easily done with a push mower.
Factory Farming
If we can't figure out how to eat animals without torturing them first, we shouldn't be eating them.
wastefulness and inefficiency in planning and execution. and unwillingness to pause, analyze and improve. go conscious capitalism!
Ban OVERPOPULATION (the root of all environmental problems: water shortage, endangered species, loss of open space, WAR, air and water pollution, high prices, etc.) by offering tax deductions for the first two children only; thereby only replacing yourselves. With world population growing by more than 210,000 per DAY, there is no way we can keep up. The earth's population has simply outgrown its ability to sustain it. It's past time to do something!
I live in New Mexico. Replaced my water hungry grass with rocks. I left the trees for shade to help cool the house in the summer. Now, how do I clean up all those leaves in the fall with out a leaf blower? A rake is useless.
Have you noticed how many glasses of water go down the drain in restaurants? Please print this and give it to every restaurant you visit:
So much drinking water is wasted! Please put a notice on each table that says: "To conserve water, drinking water served upon request." Not only will your restaurant be helping the environment, but you'll reduce your water and ice bill.
Capitalism
Ban non-returnable containers (glass, aluminum, tin, plastic, etc.) which fill up our landfills. You don't see any of these littering the landscape in Oregon because they can all be returned for cash from self-service machines located at grocery stores. The machines are actually fun to use!
