Thank you! How strange, that name thing.
It's terrific that you've submitted testimony. Spread the word! The 21st is a hard deadline for commenting.

Hi Carol, FYI, the landscapers were out in force at the public hearing yesterday. Naturally, almost all of them want to gut the leaf blower ban. The deadline for public comments is 21 July.

Hi Carol, How great that you're commenting! BTW, I just saw that the July issue of Lawn and Landscape has a cover article about battery powered equipment titled "No More Need to Hesitate." www.lawnandlandscape.com/article/batt...

Thank you so much for the shout-out and for validating leaf blower wars. Other recent episodes on The Meaning of Green (meaningofgreen.com) have featured a mysterious nocturnal creature in Brazil, an analysis of who will suffer from US environmental rollbacks, and The Great Rice Fiasco in Japan.
