Description

Welcome to New Haven. Every day or two I ride to the top of East Rock Park and pick up trash the good citizens of New Haven and Hamden save up at home so they can use to despoil the beauty of this wonderful park.
Why do our citizens pick such a lovely place to litter and pollute its natural beauty? Bad upbringing? Poor role models? An inherited trashiness? Bad judgment? Ignorance?
Whatever the reason, every day these poor citizens drop fast food, tobacco, alcohol, candy wrappers and bags as well as used diapers and other everyday refuse you would hold onto until it could be properly disposed.
So what's to be done?
How can we educate and fix this?
I don't know but please weigh in with suggestions below.
By the way, after a 5 day absence from my litter runs up East Rock today I snagged three (3) bulging grocery bags full of trash -- and that's just from the parking lot to the hairpin curve. I ran out of bags and had to leave some behind for tomorrow.
Let's hear some constructive advice and practical solutions.
Thanks
