Helping the Helpless

Recycling in New York City is a pain.

Nobody does it.

Not only do they not do it, they rely on arcane practices that I last remember seeing in grade-school. It almost seems like they go out of their way to be environmentally irresponsible. They constantly drink coffee out of Styrofoam cups and throw away newspapers.

This is why it was interesting for me to see pasted on the trash cans in the subway the proclamation that all trash in the subway cans was sorted and recycled. New Yorkers, despite their best efforts, are doing the right, "green" thing.
