We have a ban on gas leaf blowers as well. Thing is, you have to call the police when you see the leaf blower in action, and if the police get there and the leaf blower is not blowing leaves, oh well. Plus, you have to call the police on the gardener who may or may not speak English.

What they need to do is offer a leaf blower buy back for credit on electric blowers.
