Every day of the year, those gasoline-powered leaf blowers spew over one-and-a-half million gallons of raw unburned two-stroke fuel into your California air at two hundred miles per hour. That's over five-hundred-and-forty million gallons of raw two-stroke fuel per year.

Since the beginning of the gasoline-powered leaf blower noise-making era in California, those gasoline-powered leaf blowers have spewed eight billion gallons of raw unburned two-stroke fuel into your environment at two hundred miles per hour.

Every day of the year, gasoline-powered leaf blowers spew over forty-eight thousand tons of Carbon Dioxide into California air at two hundred miles per hour, contributing to global warming. That's over eighteen million tons of Carbon Dioxide per year.

Every dry day of the year, leaf blowers (gasoline and electric) boost over ninety thousand tons of dust into your California air at two hundred miles per hour, creating potential health hazards. That's over eighteen million tons of dust per year.

Every day of the dry season, that boosted dust potentially contributes to the huge increase in asthma, allergies, and respiratory ailments over the past thirty years or so.

Every day of the year, more than three million leaf blowers contribute to pollution of California water resources by blowing dirt and debris into streets and drains.

Every day of the year, leaf blowers contribute to soil erosion, removal of topsoil, and plant damage.

Every day of the year, those leaf blowers are used in abusive and irresponsible ways that contribute to personal property damage.

Every day of the year, gasoline-powered leaf blowers generate noise pollution at noise levels that exceed World Health Organisation recommended levels by factors of up to ten thousand. While commercial jet turbine aircraft operating from California airports must meet noise levels of no more than sixty-five deciBels, gasoline-powered leaf blowers routinely make up to one thousand times those permitted noise levels on the street outside your front door.

Every day of the year, disruption of work performed by knowledge-value workers because of extreme noise levels of gasoline-powered leaf blowers in California suburban areas contributes annual losses to the California economy of more than twenty-four billion dollars.

Read about a week in the life of a San Francisco Peninsula couple, who are forced to leave their home (for which they are paying good money) a minimum of three days per week, and often, five days per week, all because of the invasive noise of gasoline-powered leaf blowers.

And if all the above were not enough, now the noise-making industry are going after your children, marketing leaf blowers as cute and playful toys.
