TRASH & POLLUTION

Trash contributes significantly to environmental pollution, affecting land, water, and air quality. Improper waste disposal can leach harmful chemicals into the soil and waterways, disrupting ecosystems and contaminating drinking water sources. Recycling and responsible waste management not only reduce waste in landfills but also conserve resources and energy.

Streets in NYC have lots of wastes outside of bins. Our commitment is to collect and dispose these wastes in the right manner, and hosts events to raise awareness of this issue around the city through photographing street views and the progress.
