Use your brain and not your ideology. If it's not raining, don't burn.

when is it that the air pollution control folks will ban leaf blowers? I call them dust blowers.
A few weeks ago I arrived home and could not see my house because the guy next door was blowing so much dirt into the air.
This cant be good for breathing and it just covers everything with dirt from another place. And then there's the guys who blow leaves into the street for the city to pick up.

I use a broom and a rake and it is quiet.

Not only those blowers, but outlaw gas gardening tools period. They make way to much pollution.

Just think the blowers blow mice feces, bird feces up into the air, this is way more of a threat than wood burning.

"Bay Area Air Quality Management District officials say it includes new restrictions this year. " Yes, meaning more and more days will be included, not just the week of Christmas but much more. Soon it will be illegal to own a fireplace. Big commie brother is here watching you.
