      The gardening company my townhouse complex contracts with uses gas powered leaf blowers (and other tools), and the goddamn fumes are nauseating, even inside. Guess it’s our fault for having the audacity to open the windows in the middle of the day, in spring. They’re so loud too, and they rev up and down so you can’t even tune them out. They also leave their tools idling when they go on break for some reason, just burning fossil fuels for the hell of it.

      Congratulations, you made gardens bad for people and the environment!

          Which is another thing. Why do we need to plant domestic grasses everywhere? Clovers are a native species to North America (where I live), don’t need mowing, don’t need fertiliser, barely even need watering outside of rain, makes flowers that are good for local pollinators, and have longer roots which are better for the soil and reduce erosion. Oh but they’re “weeds” are they?

    While this is funny, I doubt it actually addresses the problem at hand.

    Hmmm… All of these are equally strong. Almost as though OP is surrounded by these hotspots. 🤔
