Perhaps we should ban all blowers and edge clippers and go back to hand clippers and rakes. No noise and no CO2.
For that matter electricity is created by 60% Fossil Fuels, 20 % Nuclear, and 20% renewable energy.
So that says that even those using current EVs, etc are participating in the global heating issue. Perhaps sell the EV and go Solar Power (SP). Not ready yet? Too expensive? Can't afford? Don't let that stop you. Remember, the oceans are rising?

Personally, I would NOT even own a leaf blower. The lots are so small that it is easy to rake when needed. But, the lawn mower (Electric) mulches up most leaves anyway. And the battery powered garden tools work fine and I always liked to shovel and rake even when I was a child. Yes, "no noise and no CO2". And yes the oceans are rising thanks to CO2 producing factories and internal combustion engines. And our friend the Hurricane is predicted to be STRONGER this year and every year in the near future. That is the price paid for NOT using electric tools and vehicles. Mother nature must be paid.
