Clean New York

New York City is known for so many things. Most people come to visit New York to see our beautifully city and take pictures for memories. There is so much about New York City, from beautifully parks to nice museums and big movie threats, we have so much going on  In this  city . Our city has so much Opportunities and you can achieve so much because there is so much inspiration among us. We need to take care of our beautifully city because New York is also known for its dirty streets and poor sanitation.  During my research I have found three sources that discuss about the dirt streets of New York and what is being done to clean our city.

   People come to New York everyday from other places to visit our city and see what our city is about, especially the tourist who comes from all over the world .  According to the Article on New York times (Stephen Brown and Elizabeth Lazarowitz )  New York has city has been named the direst out of 35 American metropolitan areas by the out of Towners. As a New Yorker I am already Exposed to seeing our streets dirt so I am not surprised, Most of the Tourist stated that our city has a urine odor and when they walk outside They often  complained about  garbage’s piled up on the sidewalks which to them is something they don’t normal see in their town. Although the city cleanliness is improving according to (Stephen, Elizabeth) the sanitation department rated our streets a 95% of cleanliness and that showed that it has improved from the way it was in 1970.

   New York has changed in a lot of ways, despite the fact that our city is dirty; we do have some generous people who have good intentions and hope for  the city. According to the Article “trying to clean up New York" the Author (Gail Robinson) stated that there are people whom are taking actions in cleaning the streets. Albert and Jesus Negron are two young men who goes out to the streets in the early mornings to sweep the streets, empty litters and make sure everything outside is in order. I was surprised to discoverer that people are really considered about the city and its reputations. I rarely see people in my area clean up the streets unless they are the landlord and it’s their duties to clean the buildings and mop the stairs otherwise they won’t bother to do so.

    New York City will be clean if we cooperate more often and care for our city like we care for our personally items. I think New York has all the affordable tools and resources to help ease the cleaning process faster because in New York there is enough money to hire more sanitation workers to pick up the garbage’s. In the Article  “Cleaning the Streets of New York “The City reformer and Chamberlain in 1914 stated that New York “Spends seven million dollars a year on Cleaning its Streets and carrying garbage’s and ashes.” In order for our city to be clean we must come together  to clean the streets and make it better place to live.
