Following the lead of the tree huggers out in the Land of Fruits and Nuts, they're getting up in arms about leaf-blowing in the Garden State now. They've already started to ban them in some cities and towns, and now the State is getting in to the act. They bitch about the noise, and, granted, it is a momentary pain in the ass, but their biggest complaint is pollution. Yup. Those little 2-cycles are supposed to be nasty little carbon factories. The bill they've introduces cites gas-powered leaf blowers as a heavy polluter, producing more carbon monoxide in one hour than a vehicle would produce over eight hours. The tool is also associated with health concerns, the bill says — due to the loud sounds emitted while in operation and the particles of pollutants it sends outward. Potential fines cited in the bill range from $25 all the way up to $1,000.00. God help us.
