I second the motion. It is amazing how many cans or water bottles end up on the street side part of the sidewalk. Cigarette butts..... I believe late at night a bunch of vehicles meet up, park on the street and smoke away then the people discard their butts all over the lawn when finished and drive away.
I whish I had a remote controlled water cannon. Have a video camera on the outside and have it display on the lap top screen. When someone does their dirty deed on the lawn blast em with a powerful stream of water.
I need to hook up with WET designs, that company knows all about water affects and they have some impressive water cannons. All you need is compressed aair and a water supply.
I could just imagine the conversation play out after the incident:
Poor Sole: Hey man you just shot me with a blast of water….
Me: Yea, so
Poor Sole: you cannot do that.
Me: I did would you like me to do it again.
Poor Sole: I am calling the cops.
Me: Go right ahead here use my cell phone. Would you also like
to make you 8x10’s of you dumping your trash on the
lawn??
Poor Sole: That does not give you the right to blast me with water.
Me: I would like to hear you use that argument in front of a
judge.
Lets see who will win with the evidence I have.
Poor Sole: [speechless]
Me: Pick up your trash, get lost, don’t come on this street
again or I will introduce you to my BIGGER model water
cannon.
Poor Sole: Gets in vehicle with the trash and burns rubber down the
street.

New Yorkers for Real Recycling Reform
Clean and simple
Some people in Albany want to expand the current bottle deposit law to include virtually every item in the beverage aisle - bottled waters, juices, iced teas, sports drinks and more. But the so-called "Bigger Better Bottle Bill" isn't any better. In fact, it could make things worse. It will simply become more difficult to recycle. And in the end, all you'll be left with is higher prices. [/quote]
People need to recycle more and it is ashame that most people cannot do it on their own without having a law past to do it.
There is only so much resources on this planet and people cannot be irresponsible like they have been in the past. fifty or one hundred years from now there will be problems.

The Real Recycling Reform Coalition has a better solution. A more effective way to increase recycling is to invest in successful curbside or municipal programs. Most New Yorkers already recycle at the curb, at their municipal waste station or in their buildings. And if the programs were more available (at public places such as beaches or parks) recycling rates would climb even higher.
Send an email to your legislator and tell him or her that you support Real Recycling Reform in New York State and not the inconvenient, hidden bottle tax.

The other day As was driving I noticed there are not a lot of trees for the amount of open space. People shoudl plant more trees and all business should be required to plant frontage trees.
Trees are ggod in many ways. THey help water drainage, provide haven for birds, help clean the air, and provide soem sound barrier in the summer just to name a few benefits.
