I used to use these in a professional context and really didn’t appreciate the need for a ban. But now I get to listen to them, and my opinion has changed slightly. I think having them in fall is a good compromise, and the electric machines are so much quieter. I also have learned more about how important leaves are for the ecosystem, pollinators and beneficial insects need them so I don’t love it when people make their gardens spotless.

I still have sympathy for scenarios where they’re a quick use, just pushing grass clippings off the walk way for example. But they are overused for sure.
