Ban Leaf Blowers in Madison!
From California to New Jersey, cities are banning the noise-and-air-pollution-creating devices we call leaf blowers. As a progressive, forward-thinking community, we need to follow suit.
Why is this important?
Leaf blowers are an unnecessary nuisance. Spreading airborne particles and creating 70-decibel noise levels at 50 ft., at the very least leaf blowers need regulation.
Cities in California, New Jersey, Colorado, Illinois, and Texas (just to name a few) have either enacted outright bans or restricted these pollution-creating devices. The progressive community of Madison needs to follow suit in saving the ears and lungs of its residents.
