I do not witness those responsible for dumping all this trash on The Green. I see people of all types walking on the green or sitting or sleeping on park benches.
It could be that nearly everybody who walks on The Green or relaxes on The Green throws trash on the ground and that the responsibility for this filth is broad.
It could be that students, people who work downtown and take a shortcut or lunchtime break on The Green, or the many homeless, or the few cops you see, or the people waiting for a bus, or tourists visiting New Haven all believe that when it's time to dispose of that Starbucks cup, hamburger wrapper, plastic food container, newspaper, beer can -- the place to put the discarded item is on the ground.
The point is: Whomever is throwing trash on the ground: IT IS ILLEGL AND DISGUSTING SO PLEASE STOP DOING IT.
I'm ask the people of New Haven, the Mayor and city administration, the New Haven Police Department, the influential voices at Yale, the Health Department, the Department of Social Services, and The Committee of the Proprietors of Common and Undivided Lands at New Haven to please -- PLEASE!!! -- work together to stop this littering and abuse of The Green.
Proprietors, Mayor, Important People in the City: Please fix this disgusting problem. You know it’s a problem, you know it’s disgusting. You’re all highly capable adults, so please fix this problem.
