No business trash...

... I wonder whether that is ok? Well, as Cedric posted on his blog (see links) the city really has a waste problem! Even if you say "eat in" at my favorite coffee place (Coffee + Breakfast Burger (!) $ 1.75) they wrap it up in two bags. Just so that the incredible weight of a coffee and a burger really doesn't brake through the bag on the way to a table. Since a couple of months, New YOrkers are asked to seperate their waste, just for me to see the garbage collectors throw everything into the same truck. Well, we had that in Germany too, some 15 years ago ;-). Walking through New York in the morning is still quite ok but over the day more and more waste "mountains" pile up along the streets so that by late afternoon great parts of the sidewalk are covered by a cloud of not so appealing smells. It's like sitting next to Karim after an indian dinner!
