I realize that this complaint will fall on deaf ears, fume intoxicated minds, and technology-refusing, old-school blowhards; however, damn the torpedoes, I and all of Whistler would appreciate local landscaping companies responsibly taking initiative to easily eliminate their beyond unpleasant noise and two-cycle engine exhaust pollution produced by gas-powered leaf blowers that they force upon Whistlerites, Whistler, and guests for the sake of company profit, refusal of health-serving innovation, and self-gratifying, chainsaw-thrilling noise-making in other people’s neighbourhoods.
Quiet, non-exhausting, affordable, practical, industrial and commercial grade, powerful, multi-speed, lightweight, compact, 1.5-hour-plus running charge, lithium battery-powered leaf blowers are available—there’s no longer a need for wannabe Harley Davidson riders and Paul Bunyan chainsaw leafs-men continuing to pollute Whistler and the world with their insufferable behaviour and same mentality.
Municipal hall doing something about it for Whistlerites/humanity? Fat chance—there’s no profit in it for fancy hotels, high-end restaurants, Vail Resorts, and McDonalds, etc., all business. It’s up to you, landscapers, if you’re willing to see beyond profit, old-school habit, and self-serving business mentality, and, instead, do something for humanity without having to be forced to act considerately and responsibly by petitioned, third-party, fine-enforced bylaw.
