Last night the Mister and I decided to have dinner in Long Island City. Since the weather was (somewhat) amenable we decided to walk home. As we were crossing the Pulaski we spied signs of activity at the North Brooklyn Boat Club. Intrigued— because, as we all, a great deal of “educational outreach” is conducted at 10:13 on a Tuesday night— we decided to hang around see what gives. Clearly they were wrapping up for the night. And then the Mister saw something interesting. VERY INTERESTING.
This fellow placed an object to his mouth (a kazoo? cigarette?), pulled a drag and proceeded to walk to the floating dock. There he tossed it into the creek. The Mister was flummoxed:
Did you see that? He just tossed a cigarette into the creek?!?
Me: Yes, I saw that. Did you know the North Brooklyn Boat Club was recently awarded Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund money so as to educate bar patrons about how cigarette butts thrown onto the street enter our sewer system and eventually end up in the creek?

Yeah, but considering there could be oil floating on the surface of the water, it brings a whole new level of stupidity to the incident.
KABOOM! Happy 4th!

such arrogance and insolence.the homeless in NYC are more responsible than this.
this is city sanctioned loitering.
The people favored by the politicians are always going to be stupider and more bumbling than those politicians or they would never have been selected in the first place.
Waterfront environmentalists, like the local cultural groups that receive tons of money, are pretty much shams of the second rate, and are put in place to provide officially sanctioned community amenities for development, that in the final analysis, are really in the middle of nowhere.
Such a dickhead organization.
