There is ANOTHER type of pollution that surrounds us in The Villages that goes virtually UNNOTICED. It is NOISE pollution! Sit outside .....ANYWHERE in TV Land and your ear drums will be attacked by the NOISE of LOUD, GASOLINE ENGINES. And, strangely, this are NOT the large displacement gas car and trucks ENGINES. They are the WHINNY small displacement gas weed eaters and edgers used by our many pay-to-cut PROFESSIONALS (because our amateur workers are too lazy and claim that they will miss out on an extra 9 holes of golf). If our healthy RETIRED citizens would shuffle their butts off to Home Depot and purchase some battery powered and QUIET weed eaters and hedge trimmers we would NOTICE the PEACE and QUIET. And besides the REDUCTION in the noise level by using electric versus gasoline small tools, WE would be putting out less air pollution. Thus helping the LUNGS of our fellow seniors that need ALL the lung function that they can possible have. Better lung function and better and less irritating hearing - folks .....its thee famous 2.....fer.
........Next we could talk about the medium sized polluting devices gasoline Golf Carts vrs E-Golf Carts. Just listen to (and SMELL) those gas golf cart as they WHIZZ by illegally going at 30 MPH and up. Why are they louder than your lovely Buick? Answer........because they have NO cat converter and a cheap minimal muffler. So, besides spouting out extra noise (for gas versus electric) they are spouting out BIG TIME POLLUTION. Another 2 fer !!!!!
.......Now, imagine a Village World with ZERO gas engines, only Electric. I wonder if you can. No air and noise pollution. I wonder if you can. Some say that I am a DREAMER, but i'm NOT the only one. No lung pollution to DIE for. I wonder if you CAN ?????????
