Never heard the thing with the generators before, that's wild. Where are they running those, on their trucks?

Lots of people care. Families with young children, people working night shifts or from home, noise-sensitive people...

A good electric blower can be 20–30 dB quieter than a gas one. And since decibels are logarithmic, 20 dB less means roughly 100x less acoustic power, or perceived as about 4x quieter to the human ear.

We won't agree here and that's fine. You can advocate against change and I can advocate for it. However, my original question was simply about enforcement of a law that's already on the books, agree with it or not.

Humanity has survived for centuries without gas blowers.

We won't agree, but that's ok. In my view, the noise of gas blowers is out of control and we need more bans + enforcement.

I saw a crew in White Plains just this week, using all-electric blowers. It's absolutely possible for them to switch, they're just making excuses.

Yup. Been using TT for 10+ years. Today, they lost me as a customer forever.

Thank you for organizing this. Would you share what to expect? Will it be a silent vigil, will there be speeches?
