While leaf blowers can be noisy, a great way to clean up the yard without all that racket is to use a [url=Web Link sweeper[/url] which you can either push (no engine, just pure human power) or attach to the back of a riding mower! Of course the former would be the best way to go in order to eliminate the noise, but if you are already using a riding mower, you can get two things done at once.

Push-mowers and hand rakes are a great idea. Not only do they "save the air", they also help "save the view" by giving homeowners a wonderful opportunity for a workout.

Spare the air day -- just another liberal plot to spred fear about global warming about which their is no evidence what so ever. Obama declares 1/3 of countries in the US disaster because of a poker hand of his own making. I'd much rather my "pollution" tax at the gas pump be used to manufacter more drones to keep illegals who start forest fires out of this precios country we own.
