They don't recycle in NYC. I stayed in Brooklyn for several days, I saw the garbage come by twice a week, and no recycling whatsoever. The city is too packed with garbage everywhere.
i dont know how anyone could live in new york and accept that kind of society to live in. i havent been and i dont plan on ever going.
Unless you go there, you probably will never know how people can do it. Sometimes cities are amazing places to learn about humanity. Different strokes for Different folks.
i have been to many big cities. for me i guess i dont want to be surrounded in that city life. trees, plants, and healthy air is always a plus. im not a hippie.
