Good! Start with a sales ban and follow up with a use ban.

----------------
All sales of gas-powered home lawn mowers, trimmers and leaf blowers would be banned in metro Denver beginning in 2025 to attack severe ozone pollution, according to draft policies circulating at the Regional Air Quality Council and targeted for a vote by statewide authorities later this year. 
The most likely proposals would also ban summer use of existing gas-powered lawn equipment by big institutional users such as schools or parks and maintenance crews beginning in 2025, and by commercial users a year after that.

If anyone was interested in my opinion...

#LeafBlowers are absolute evil incarnate.

Everything that is wrong with humanity is demonstrated in the existence of the leaf blower.

We hates them.

@DanielRigal It's interesting that instead of paying people to quietly cut hedges with clippers & quietly rake leaves we pay companies to outsource jobs to China/etc, where leaf blowers & clippers are made. Then our own workers & communities are loud & ugly & full of allergens. And most people work indoors, getting no sunshine or fresh air. What's wrong with this picture?

#Petition to immediately replace all #leafBlowers with #whistleBlowers.

Raking leaves before and after! I had a really good time using the leaf blower. It kept my back nice and warm too.
