Comment on The world was a nicer place before the advent of leaf blowers

Echoing another comment in this thread, I’m from Argentina and I’ve seen maybe one leaf blower in my entire lifetime. However, I’ve been to the US , so I believe you (my condolences)

If my understanding is correct, leaf blowers contribute a lot to the current massive bug die-off that’s been happening lately all over, because many bug species reproduce in leaf litter. In that regard, they’re not only terrible noise-wise, but ecologically-wise as well.

So, terrible all around.
