About: Leaf Blowers - AGENDA ITEM E-1
I think you should make it illegal for people here to use gas leaf blowers. This is one of the reasons you should ban gas leaf blowers - because it is bad for the environment. It doesnt fully use up the gas it becomes light and floats up and becomes more pollution than fully used gas. It’s bad for people with breathing problems and it’s also bad for the person doing the leaf blowing. The noise is bad for your body because it puts you under stress. This is bad for you, your neighbors, and the person that is doing the leaf blowing. The person that is paying the person to do the leaf blowing is saving a little bit of money and that’s good, but that’s also causing health problems later in life for the person doing the leaf blowing.
I hope you make a change.
