The people of Zurich have had enough of the noise of leaf blowers. Voters have banned petrol-powered machines with a 61.7% majority.

There is also a new restriction for battery-powered models. They may only be used from October to December. Use in other months is only permitted in exceptional cases, for example for street cleaning after the Street Parade.

My neighborhood is a never ending drone of gas powered mowers and leaf blowers. All of my immediate neighbors only have electric mowers and leaf blowers. The drone comes from streets away and never fucking ends.
