I had asked my parents to tell their gardeners to use a rake rather than a blower. To my outrage, this week, the gardeners were back, blowing away. They complained that it was so, so hard to use a rake, and they would have to charge $500 a month (up from $140) because it would take soooo long. My mom caved, and now they're back to blowing whenever they want. I told my mom that they essentially own her now, and said I could try to find a no-blow company that would charge a reasonable price. She refused to consider it. However, I want to see if there are such companies anyway. Does anyone have a list? I live in Danville, btw.
Just something to ponder:
When I was in 5th grade, I was taught at school and media that if I didn`t recycle properly, the earth was headed to an ice age. It even made the cover of Time magazine in the mid 70`s. I came home and yelled at my parents and thought they were the biggest idiots on earth and I was angry at them for "not caring". Fast forward some 35 years later and now Al Gore and the media say we are in man made "global warming".

My point is: there are basic responsible things we all should consider to keep our environment healthy. I plant 2 trees when I remove 1, etc.... I dispose of trash properly....etc...I keep my eyes open around me...

but please dont get caught up in "enviremental whacko" agendas. Do unbiased research. Strongly question government as to why they want to impose regulations on your daily life. Read the US Constitution and ask, "Is this Constitutional?"

Follow the money and power when you hear about new, broad environmental laws and regs being made. You may find that it has nothing to do with any govt. official caring about your health, lol. Please inform yourself by reading pundits from the left, right and everywhere else before making up your mind....

In other words, don`t believe your parents are idiots just yet......they have been around a long time
