      The necessity of one yard that really can use an electric blower instead (when possible, yes economic necessity is a thing especially if your life or the life of others is immediately threatened), if nothing else, versus literally thousands of miles worth of carbon and other waste pollution per half hour of usage, and being this emotionally invested in what seemed like a spiteful reaction to being told just how bad gas powered leaf blowers are, is something I already said my part about.

      If/when alternatives are possible (such as renting an electric blower versus a gas one), if at that time if the yard is still that important to you compared to how much waste pollution it generates if/when said alternatives becomes possible, it would then seem like some contrarianism and spite after being informed just how bad gas powered leaf blowers are for the environment. I mean, is the yard so vast that picking up leaves by hand is not possible? Keep chanting "zero awareness" if you must, but I still don't see a true necessity there, and dare I say it seems more like :grillman: hostility and spite, like the :grillman: that live in my area and use lots of gas powered leaf blowers and lawn mowers and expect everyone else to do the same, seemingly out of spite for environmental concerns than actual necessity.

      Whatever the case, at this point, it's becoming :wall-talk: for me to go on here.
