    I don’t live anywhere near Denver but when I’m biking through residential and some guy is doing electric yardwork and it smells like fresh plants with no smog 😙🤌

    My regular work commute I wear 3m p100/2097’s because of quad wheel pickup trucks with nothing in them, every block having construction, and if nothing else is smogging me it’s forest fire smoke, so realistically electric lawn care probably won’t make much of a difference apart from make landscaping business owners miserable.

      running a gas powered leaf blower for an hour, for example, is equivalent to driving over a thousand miles in a car. certainly air pollution has many sources but it’s true that lawn equipment is a significant contributor
