Yes. The litter has no race, class, or sexuality; it's just garbage. It's either there or (thanks to you) it's not. Go no further than that and you're laughing. <br /><br />To the litterers: let the word get out, if you don't want bloggers, reporters, and photographers tramping through your favorite spot for sex al fresco, pick up after yourselves. <br /><br />To the person accusing the volunteers of racism: frankly it's racist/classist/etc. to excuse the litter on the basis of who might be dropping it, or to criticize the cleanup on the basis of who is picking it up. <br /><br />End of story!

I don't understand this but it is what it is. Cleaning up a neglected area of the park is not racist! It benefits every one who uses the park including people and wildlife. It also benefits the ecosystem by removing debris that could pollute the water and promote disease. Litter encourages the rat and mice population to grow and rats and mice can carry diseases. You and your group should be commended for your efforts. If I still lived in New York I would gladly volunteer. Thank you for all of your efforts, Brooklyn and New York are lucky to have you.halfpintvthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14769021783867096302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-67326633993025045372011-06-02T12:56:07.627-04:002011-06-02T12:56:07.627-04:00What I'm seeing is mostly supportive comments ...What I'm seeing is mostly supportive comments for what you and the crew are doing.

I'm picturing the bazillion silent people who didn't comment but were affected by the piece. You provoked comment & that's really great: it's about the number of comments, not their content. (BTW,Nick Bilton wrote about the mean comment phenomenon in the Times Jan 2010 http://nyti.ms/jk29E3.) P.S. Love your blog - you're the reason I added a "Gardening" tab to my iGoogle pages & follow a bunch now.
