Citizens Against Litter Campaign

170 Words1 Page

On the homepage of the Citizens Against Litter website is an article that appeared in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on April 22, which was, appropriately, Earth Day.
We disagree with Mayor Peduto's spokesman Tim McNulty when he said in the article, "litter cleanup is a major priority."
That's the problem. Litter is not a priority right now. The Mayor has had a proposal on his desk for a year and a half and no action has been taken. In January 2014 a plan for a pilot "Zero Litter Enforcement" campaign was submitted and accepted by the Peduto transition committee. It hasn't gone anywhere up to now.
However, in its article the Tribune-Review said "a meeting with the Mayor and other city officials to begin developing a strategic plan for the litter

  • Garbage By Katie Kelley Analysis

    460 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the essay “Garbage,” author Katie Kelley indicates, via her supportive evidence, that the careless and non-chalant attitude New Yorkers have towards garbage not only does not solve the problem but just adds more to it. New Yorkers, blinded by their thoughtless outlook, take things that are garbage and present it to the public as something that is valuable, creating sort of a deadly cycle that worsens the garbage overflow. Katie Kelley implicates the image of garbage in the city by saying “Come Fall, offices all around New York City Hall are decorated with gourds and pumpkins harvested at Fresh Kills” (108). The pumpkins that were thrown away earlier by New Yorkers are coming back into the city as beautifications. At the end of the autumn season the
