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.
