Speaking of Fall - maybe you have recently brought out your leaf blower, or are at least thinking of it.  This year, consider raking your leaves instead.  Raking leaves can be a great family activity, and you will be saving the environment as well!  - "In one year's time, that little leaf blower engine you hear buzzing up the street pumps out as much smog-forming pollution as 80 cars, each driven 12,500 miles, according to a California air quality agency."
