I have two beef. cycle, power-
Courtyard and garden equipment
Especially the blowing machine and the sewing machine.
The noise levels and exhaust gas of these powerful machines are excessive for the work they do.
Their use in densely populated urban environments is unforgivable and unsustainable.
Professionals who use these machines usually wear hearing protection devices.
But what about passers-?
Or when the hair dryer/push wh user goes out of the way, the person trying to read the newspaper on the front porch, with his head down, dust and debris falling from the sky --high.
Many people reading this will agree with me.
Others have left and don't care.
What is my point?
I am ready to make a compromise now.
It's not that I changed, it's technology.
We now have a reasonable and practical alternative.
Circulating gas power engine: lithium ion battery.
These new rechargeable batteries are changing our garden and landscape.
A few years ago, when rechargeable batteries were first introduced, they were known for their long charging and short charging life.
Now, science and innovation means we can turn the volume down and do the job without sending the entire community indoors.
Now you can buy a chainsaw powered by a lithium ion rechargeable battery.
I don't, but I will one day.
I was told they were working very well.
But this is not the case for experienced forestry professionals.
Their presence and high praise tell me that we are moving in the right direction.
Note that the battery itself does not determine the power of the machine, but rather the design of the machine itself.
No matter which battery is powered from, 18 volts is 18 volts.
Less energyA lithium-ion rechargeable batteries cost only a few nickels and will charge more than the previous generation.
No oil can be mixed with natural gas, and there are fewer moving parts.
Lower maintenance costs.
Rechargeable battery durable, recyclable-
But not through your blue box or bin.
Look for a recycling facility near you for garbage disposal.
You can replace them when they are finished.
I do not naively think that the garden electrical equipment will soon disappear.
That's why I'm willing to compromise: if you promise to replace your complaint
I promise to stop using new, cleaner, quieter technology to cycle the machineaching.
Landscape trade magazine recently published a report on international landscaping, where a Mississauga Sharjah company transformed all its lawn and garden power equipment into rechargeable equipment.
Look at them.
If we don't talk about quiet criminals, we can't talk about replacing the loudest criminals in the neighborhood.
For example-
I own and use a few.
There are 10 acres in my garden.
Most likely, I spent a little more time cleaning up the leaves and dumping them in compost than when I used them twice. cycle machine.
Brooms are one of the most unpopular tools in the shed.
When I was cleaning the garage or driveway, it took very little time and the result looked very good.
Finally, if there is a Royal Commission
Or if the local municipality where you are is setting up a committee
