Why not just leave the leaves on the grass?

Me and my boyfriend are contractors and mostly work in the suburbs. From sunset to sundown, the sound of lawnmowers and leaf blowers is nonstop. Why obsessively remove leaves? It's free fertilizer. I can't help but think of all the needless pollution from ppl that mow their lawns 5x a week.

Our population is so damn fat, if you want to mow your lawn, at least do it with your own body. Riding mowers should be banned.

I hate lawns.
