and the beginning text:
Following up my last video on what American culture is doing to what could be one of its jewels, here is a shorter, punchier view of Washington Square Park today.
The quote, “Pride Destroyed the Park,” comes from a woman who stopped me while I was taking pictures to tell me the park had 10 times more garbage a few hours earlier. Several people told me so. You can see teams of people cleaning it, around 9:30am.
It is not a sanitation issue.
It is not just a parade issue.
It doesn’t matter who was in the parade.
You can make a difference. You need never buy bottled water, soda, takeout, or nearly any packaged food again in your life, starting this moment.
