These people are out there. I lived across from Inwood hill park in NYC a couple years ago and one of my neighbors would be outside three or four times a week filling a black trash bag. I feel as though I'm pretty conscious of litter; I always crumple whatever I use and wait to dispose of it, I'll pick up a handful when on walks - but this dude went above and beyond. The most amazing thing was his attitude. I regret I never had a long conversation with him and he always greeted me slightly under his breathe so I presume a degree of shyness, I'm aware of it in myself, but whenever I would pass him picking up litter he would smile. I would be filled with murderous, defeatist rage at the prospect of picking up the same acre of park area several times a week, let's face it, from likely the same absent minded human travesties, but this guy seemed to have a real joy.

I would like a petition that we collect all the trash from littering and dump it into the house of people who litter
