Recently, an insightful Hillsdale woman wrote a letter to the editor of one of those free so-called newspapers that litter our driveways on a weekly basis. Her letter addresses the noise, smell, and dust created by those terrorist machines generally referred to as gas-powered leaf blowers. These machines terrorize us in a number of ways: they are responsible for a significant amount of noise pollution and air pollution, and they run on nonrenewable fossil fuel (overpriced gasoline).
If you’ve ever been on a walk or a ride past an area where one of these machines is operating, then you likely noticed the dust storm created in the area, as well as the excessive noise and emissions smell. You better have something nearby to protect your mouth, nose, and eyes!
It is interesting to note that many people who use these machines don’t even wear protective equipment. Sometimes you see hearing protection being used, but rarely do you see protection for the mouth or nose. Yikes!
