Have you heard about this campaign? Cutting ✂️ and pasting from AI 🤖 reluctantly:

Leave the Leaves" is a campaign by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) to encourage people to leave fallen leaves on their property to benefit wildlife and the environment. The NWF designated October as "Leave the Leaves" month. Here's why you might consider leaving the leaves:
Wildlife habitat Leaves provide shelter and nesting material for many animals, including birds, mammals, and invertebrates.
Soil health Decomposing leaves add nutrients to the soil, prevent erosion, and retain moisture.
Reduced pollution Raking and bagging leaves for landfills contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and methane release.
Less work You can spend less time cleaning up leaves and more time on other activities.
Reduced fertilizer use Leaves act as a natural fertilizer, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers that can harm waterways.
