Barbara Mikulski quotes, "Each one of us can make a difference. Together we can make a change." Being born and raised in New York City, I've seen the dramatic change in trash rates. I know we can work together to clean up our streets and our homes to create a safe and healthy environment. In New York City, many residents have been ignoring the fact that tons of trash are being dumped on the streets or ocean. While some may claim that we do enough cleaning. That does not diminish the fact that there will be lots of trash on the sides of the road on the days that don't clean. We request more garbage cans, more recycle bins, and more frequent garbage truck rounds.
