New Yorkers, we need to talk about the state of our streets. Everywhere you look, there’s trash—overflowing garbage cans, litter scattered on sidewalks, people dumping things wherever they feel like it. It’s like we’ve forgotten that this is our home.

We all claim to love New York, but love isn’t just words—it’s action. If we want to be proud of this city, we need to start treating it with the respect it deserves. Every time you toss something on the ground or leave garbage where it doesn’t belong, you’re contributing to a problem that makes our neighborhoods less livable for all of us.

Let’s stop acting like New York is a landfill. Pick up after yourself, put trash where it belongs, and encourage others to do the same. Small acts of care add up, and we can make this city as beautiful as it deserves to be.

New York is worth it. Let’s show it the love we say we have.
