1971 Raid (SC Johnson): Pure Throwback Hype

Remember when yard pests felt like an unavoidable season—until the 1971 Raid Yard Guard commercials promised a shield? This ad leans into that gritty, take-charge era vibe: spray with confidence, keep the yard from becoming a bug battleground. If you’ve ever watched something crawl across your porch lights, this one’s going to feel uncomfortably familiar.

Ah, so far so good. Stihl FSA57 trimmer (battery powered) works very well.. VERY quiet. Cuts the mustard (which my corded trimmer does not). Extremely lightweight, compared to every gasoline one I've used before. It was a project to order it, though. I'll probably be ordering a second because a spare battery plus charger is almost the same cost, and that will include another head, too. 🤔

Did half of the weeds on my hillside to try it out, in almost no time. That usually is a long project for me due to hassling with line, power cord and/or gasoline. Really good build quality. This model is light duty/homeowner (but we are just using it for bee yard clearing). #yardcare

The #ClimateCrisis should be foremost in our minds at all times. It should act as a irremovable lens through which we view the world that guides us with every decision we make.

A good lens enables us to see the world with greater clarity. We can make better decisions when we see things for what they truly are.

Case in point: What do you think when you hear a leaf blower in your neighbor's yard? Is it just the noise that bothers you? There's a lot more to it than that.

I urge you to read the article below and follow the link to the actual PDF report. Then consider sharing it with your family, friends, neighbors, and local politicians. Maybe your HOA should be more informed about the pollution these #YardCare devices create in our communities. Every step we take to reduce our #CarbonFootprint and #pollution is a step in the right direction!

Let's live on the planet as if we intend to stay.
