Describe the challenge you want to address:

The trash in the city!!!!

Describe your idea and approach to address the challenge:

Coordinate with SYEP, neighborhood bids as well as neighborhood organizations to help get the city clean. In conjunction with DSNY, everyone can have a zone where they will sweep, pick up garbage and power wash the streets and put the trash alongside the street so DSNY can pick it up. This program will go on 365 days a week in EVERY neighborhood in NYC with the goal of beautifying the best city in the world!!!! Some people can earn school credit, internship credit, after prison credit, etc
