And so it begins

For the next three months, I will be immersing myself in the trashier side of journalism. No, not celebrity gossip or fashion or even politics, but ACTUAL TRASH as I explore the issue of littering in New York City.

Should littering be a crime, or an individual choice? Is it ruining the city, or is it part of the landscape? Should we give a hoot and never pollute, or just throw our lunch remains at the environmentalist whiners?

There will be editorials and feature stories, photos and podcasts. You’ll meet embarrassed litterers, frustrated store owners and a man who makes his living with garbage art.
