Someone who enjoys raking leaves is probably the same someone who asked for more homework in high school.

They now spend their days mining coal purely for fun, while they intermittently text their Sherpa to plan their next stab at Everest.

Sorry, if you’re one of these people and enjoy the task, we apologize. But the following clip might not be for you.

Because it’s the rebel yell of incessantly, as if a bloodless drone, raking tree scraps only to inefficiently attempt to scoop and stuff them into bags and other tiny quarters, minuscule amount by minuscule amount — like a cursed autumn Sisyphus.

Yes:

The treehugger in us would like to point out, however, that what these gentlemen did with the leaves and the flame? Not precisely “good” for the environment. And, in most cases, illegal.

Burning leaves is bad news.

This practice is now illegal – or at least highly discouraged – in most areas. Burning leaves releases airborne particulates like dust and soot, mold, and other allergens that were tamped down with rain and decomposition. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): “the total health, financial, and environmental costs of leaf-burning can be quite high. These costs include higher incidences of health problems and increased heath care costs; forest fires and property loss and need for increased fire protection; and the clean-up costs associated with soiling of personal property.”
