“Just like the rest of Philadelphia and especially our sports team – the Eagles, Sixers, Flyers and Phillies, we don’t need to be the best to prove our dedication. We can settle for almost reaching the best without claiming the number one spot. We’re not even the fattest city anymore! Not the healthiest, most attractive, nor a travel destination. Why should our greening efforts be any different?”
The Greenworks plan is knocking down its 15 sustainability targets to a solid 10 and discouraging composting where it costs too much. Philly Spring Cleanup Day will skip next year to become bi-yearly. And the successful Recyclebank program will deduct points for residents recycling over 10 pounds of eligible products each week. As Streets Department commissioner Mr. DeLeon summarized, “People keep throwing their dirty bottles, dime bags and soiled plastic bags out their windows and we’re tired of this UnLitter Us campaign trying to convince them to stop.”
Readers, what do you think of the new plans? Does it meet your expectations for our dirty city?
Happy April Fools!! 😉 In case you couldn’t figure it out, this is obviously satire and our April Fools fun.
