The leaves are changing color from green to a beautiful array of gold, red and orange. Shortly the leaves will fall and the buzzing willl begin. The buzzing? Yes, the buzzing. You guessed it, the buzzing of leaf blowers.
Did you know that besides being the perpetrator of that horrible buzzing noise, that leaf blowers are horrible on the environment and our health? A single hour of leaf blowing pollutes the air the same way that driving your car for 350 miles does. However, when you are driving a car for 350 miles, you are usually traveled a far distance, not driving around in your back yard or neighborhood. The pollution that the leaf blowers emit stay concentrated in your general area {your neighborhood} spewing a toxic cocktail of smoke, dust, allergens and other fine particles that are then inhaled by you, your neighbors, children and pets. So, blow off using the leaf blower and grab a couple of rakes instead. Raking your leaves is excellent exercise, fun to do with the kids and won’t hurt the environment, your lungs or your neighbors ears.
Giveaway number seven is super fun and would make a fantastic stocking stuffer – a one of a kind whistle made from vintage bottle caps from Loran Scruggs!
Each whistle is handcrafted, so no two whistles are ever alike. And these whistles really work – how fun! Loran collects bottle caps and tin from local restaurants, friends and neighbors – and even finds some at second hand stores.
Each Loran Scruggs whistle comes with a ball chain, ready to be worn around your neck. Wouldn’t your little one get a kick out of this gift?
Loran also has a fantastic collection of toys made using wood, tin and bottle caps. My favorites are the elephant,bunny and truck!
