Congratulations, the world needs more of you folks. There is never a day in New York City that I don't see garbage trucks drving by. Garbage in NYC is constant and complicated, from commerical trash to single family homes the mess seems to keep getting bigger. On a recent canoe trip down the Delaware River, I stopped in little, very little town called Lordville right on the edge of the Delaware. We pulled up the canoe, climbed the bank and crossed over a railroad track that travels along the river. Someone in that little town said the train now hauls NYC garbage someplace far away, far away from the city. The thought made me cringe. This is the most extreme measure of the "not in my backyard syndrome." Maybe its all we got now, but I think we should not ship our trash out. The thought of NYC sullying someplace else, because we can afford it and the community that is taking our trash is poor and needs the revenue bothers me. I hope better solutions can me made in the future and hopefully you will be one of the ones that makes it.
