Litter

East Villagers despise litter (except for those who love it)! Many of them will not throw their paper onto the ground. Instead, they place it carefully into the baskets of parked bicycles, such as this one I saw while walking up Second Avenue this morning:

Oh, delivery man, can you please throw this away for me?

The delivery man, on the other hand, is not an East Villager, and thinks nothing about throwing all of it into the street, for the street cleaner to take, the next time he passes by, if it doesn't blow away before then.

So think about that — the trash you so thoughtfully put into a bicycle basket winds up in the street anyway. So just throw it there yourself!
