Motormania Manly style

Inefficient two stroke motors are ubiquitous in Manly (and all over Australia). High-powered and mostly handheld or mobile they are used on land and water 24/7:

• Lawnmowers, whipper snippers, debris (leaf) blowers , chainsaws and sit-on-mowers are in use for 'land-scaping'.
• Motorcycles, mopeds, scooters, diy thingos and model airplanes buzz around roads, pathways and green reserves.
• “One jet-ski driven for one 8 hour period emits the same amount of pollution as a car driven for 100,000 miles”. There are many on the beaches blowing their fumes in the face of swimmers.
• Boat motors are not just revved on waterways, but are 'blown out' in the suburban streets and gutters.

“People pollution” via "the old 2 cycle motors have been said to cause more pollution in two hours than a car running for an entire year.” These machines are a health hazard and an inefficient way of utilising energy. “Because fuel leaks through the exhaust port each time a new charge of air/fuel is loaded into the combustion chamber, oil pollution is a problem” on the water or the land.

Developing countries tackle two-stroke engines to make them more efficient. In Australia one just wants to 'get things done' – climate and all.
