It is pretty ridiculous. I was taught from a young age that it was something you HAD to do. Turns out, it was because they were worried about what others would think about them. Why deny the beauty of nature by raking up the trees leaves? It's best to leave them be. There's only one upside I can see from raking, leaf piles. You can make a huge colourful heap and jump into it:) It's so much fun! But afterwards, the leaves are bagged up and I guess thrown out which is a pointless waste.
The city started this awesome program for curbside composting of all food waste and yard debris, along with regular recycling. It's had a dramatic effect on waste collection for landfills. We're a test city, I believe. The concept should spread as it's been really successful so far.
IIN to think Raking leaves is stupid!!

My city collects the bags and composts the leaves. They will not go to waste.

That's good! I'm not sure if my city does that, though:(

Yeah, a little fire helps with that problem. Can't be loading up those landfills.

That's not a bad idea... But the bonfire would have to be in a contained area.
