Leaf blowers in general need to be banned. They cause too much soil erosion.

Also, they don't clean up the mess, they just relocate it next door or onto the street.

I guess we should ban brooms then too with that logic.

Most brooms are sold with a dustpan attached.

I just got a nice straw broom the other day. Try to ~~ban~~ relocate it and I'll relocate its haft.. i don't know.. uhh.. from my cold-dead hands! (sorry I just wanted to brag about my new broom! I've been cleaning cobwebs and (old) wasp nests from our house and its gonna be transformative once i get enough cobwebs off.)

Unrelated, you don't supposed its bad to have wasps around, do you? Theres a Paper Wasp nest outside my bedroom window and sometimes they get in to escape the heat and I have to let them out when they start buzzing around. I think its cute!
