"It isn't pollution
that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water
that are doing it." .Governor George W. Bush.. The following is a selection of my Experiences in trying to litter get littering enforced in...New Jersey
IF YOU ARE OFFENDED BY THE
TERM
GARBAGE, TOO BAD. LOOK AROUND, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
GARBAGE! OUR STREETS AND
STREAMS
ARE COVERED!
THE LITTER LAWS ARE COMPLETELY
IGNORED!
IN FACT THE POLICE I SPOKE TO
TOLD ME, THEY ARE TOLD TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY!
Read This!
Years Ago I was fishing under
the Highlands Bridge, when a sudden heavy
downpour took place for around twenty minutes. A few minutes later my
lines
kept picking up plastic bags. This was a pain so I left the area. When
my boat faced east toward the Navesink River, I was shocked to see the
center of the channel covered with trash, and streams of trash coming
from
the storm drains feeding the large channel of trash in the center of
the
river. I picked up a plastic bag in my motor After I tied up the boat, I
proceeded
home. The white van in front of me started tossing a lot of trash from
his car. Didn't take me long to see he was cleaning his car as he was
going
down the street. I took down his plate number and I already knew his
face
but did not know his name.
I took this information
to the Rumson Police Station
where
my old friend Billy Brush cursed me out, telling me we don't do that
here!
I left very discouraged and very angry! Since then I have spoken to
many old timers on
the
squad, and I was told that they are ORDERED NOT TO ENFORCE THIS LAW!
The
reason why was that they (the judge) "did not want any stupid litter
tickets
clogging his court." Now over ten years have gone by, nothing has been
done about this quality of life issue. A few days ago my ten year old
son
and I were cursed out of Little Silver Police Station by Capt. Mc Cue,
being told "I've never given a litter ticket, and I would not even know
how to begin to write a litter ticket." This Judge Himmelman controls
Red
Bank and Little Silver. And he's a friend of my mothers. He is the man
in control of Red Bank, and this is why they are ordered to look the
other
way when they see litter tossed. I've had many nasty words with Capt.
Mc
Cue. He has to be one of the biggest skumbags on the planet. I just
find
it so hard to believe that people like this are paid by us! Telling me
he will personally see to it that this law will never be enforced in
Little
Silver NJ.
Since then I have discovered
that there is no law in New Jersey that
covers
littering while on foot. The only law in this state that covers this is
tossing trash from a moving car. I find it odd that in this year of
2001
there is NO LAW AGAINST LITTERING ON FOOT. A person may toss as much
garbage
around as they wish and there is nothing anyone can do about it!
This is a disgusting but very common sight, trash along the river
shoreline
as far as the eye can see, nothing but litter!
The towns people should know the truth, the taxes we pay have no
bearing
on the quality of life, we live like pigs!
If you feel you
can help please contact me at...

Many police have read this,
but not one ever tried to challenge it! WHY? It's true!
The above is all so true, yet if
you doubt it just call the police, or contact me. I will help in any
way
that I can!
If you would like to see these
laws enforced, and have clean roads and waterways, send this to
everyone....NOW!!!!!
The most disgusting people
I've ever
met are from this state we call new jersey
It sure doesn't make living here very easy
Seeing litter everywhere makes me sick
That guy just tossed a butt, why does he have to be
such
a slob?
He say butt everyone does it
I say that doesn't make it right
Then he wants to fight

I have been threatened
many times
by police officers not to
Pursue this,,,, I've asked police from Port Jervis
to Cape May and the same answer keeps coming up.. Who Cares..
I see police litter... I see people litter in front
of police.......
I take my scouts to the beach for a beach sweep...
just to see people litter right behind us......
they ask me "why do they litter don't they care" I
get so depressed it makes me sick. What do you tell a 8 yr. old? Let
alone

This is a letter written by me, to Trenton.
I've had a problem for many years and I was hoping that you could
help.
I
have attended some borough hall meeting in our town and I just can't
believe
what I was told by the mayor. I asked him to post a few "no litter"
signs
in our town because it is 3/4 surrounded by water and the Navesink
River
Gets covered with garbage every time it rains. I was told he would
think
about it. At the next meeting I asked" have you thought about it? He
told
me" I see no reason to post such signs nor do I see any reason to
enforce
this law. As a member of the Navesink Environmental Study group I find
this appalling. So I took it on myself to pass out some fliers stating
what
the Mayor told me. Then the next thing I'm told by the people that
work
for the mayor that he's out to get me. And I had better watch my ass
for
they will come down on me hard. A few days later I'm shaken down in
front
of my own house and threatened. I won't go into any more incidents
but
there has been too much lying, And I can't see what kind of thinking
is
behind this. I asked a few of the towns policemen and they told me
that
they were ordered "not to bother his court with stupid littering
tickets".
 ; I'm a middle aged man with a family and I
just received threats NOT to pursue this or he will do everything he
can
to sue me, The police are here to help the public They are not the
mayors
private goon squad. Chief Robert Hoffman, who I would like to think
of
him as a friend, informed me that he has no control over these men,
and I
was hoping if you would help? In fact there has been one littering
ticket
given in the 30+ years I've lived here, by a rookie. I contacted Peter
Venerieno's
office and all that seem to do is give the police more of a reason
to hassle
me. I do not want trouble But I can not turn over and play dead. I
still
can't walk to the corner store without seeing someone toss garbage
out
the window. Please this is 1998
The response was no help what so ever in fact The
trouble
little did I know was just starting.....
This was right along the road in marlboro...
I can't think very highly of such slobs..
The above is wycoff rd Eatontown, in this pic there are hundreds of
cigarette butts. I recently asked a Eatontown police officer why he has
to toss his garbage on the ground? His response "what's wrong with
that?
Everyone does it." Great System HUH?
This
is the stuff you don't see anywhere else except here. I'm
so sick and tired of every knuckle head and his brother tossing their
crap
in the water.
HERE IS A PICTURE OF A
SPILLWAY
FULL OF
OURÂ STATES
NAMESAKE
GARBAGE
The other day I noticed a guy walk across the
road with a container of oil that he just changed from his truck. I
also
noticed him dump the used oil on the ground right next to a stream that
ran straight into our Shrewsbury River. He has been doing it for as
many
years as he has lived there. I went home and called the Police station.
I was not helped in any way, they did say try someone else. I did try
thr
Harbor Master of our area. Well to make a long story short, I spent a
hour
on the phone calling people and didn't find a soul that would so much
as
raise a eyebrow. So every few months a gallon and a half of dirty OIL
in
dumped into our rivers and who cares. From the response I got from our
local police, one would think that this is legal.
This is a spillway in Marlboro NJ It is hard to see but there is a
ton of garbage here Rt. 9 Manalapan
New Jersey wants your litter, just put it where it is suppose to go.
A typical street in Marlboro NJ Why does this happen, lets get garbage
cans with lids. Use just a plastic bag, very stupid
I was walking my dog the other day, when I saw a boro
hall employee toss trash into the water, I told her not to do that, She
said "If you don't like looking at it don't come here, to the water"
This
was told to me by a so called high class person, and she is related to
me, by Marriage! My wife asked me not to mention her name.
This is the water we drink, This is so damn gross!!! Water shed in
Colts Neck
There is no shortage of litter in New Jersey

Can you imagine that people expect this, I think it is very disgusting

Not even a fresh layer of leaves can't cover the trash here in Wall
Township
Are there any laws that
are enforced anywhere? Here we see how effective recycling is. A bunch
of recycle stuff in regular trash. Why in the world do we put our
recyclable
in separate containers, then dump them all in regular trash? Things
like
this are strange? Is there a soul out there that knows why??
I really hope that this guy has the guts to enforce laws
like other states
do.Here are a few links Greenpeace

I would rather see a few
signs, and fines. Keep it green.
I've been asked under the freedom of information act to see how
many littering tickets have been issued in this state. I tried to get
support
from Cindy Zipf of Clean Ocean Action, all I wanted was a atta boy. She
does not seem to want this made public.
The nearest I can see is that if there is no more
pollution,Â
...she'd be out of a job.
I'm really starting to think that, these so called environmental
organizations are all a big snow job, joke, pulling the wool over ones
eyes, or in laymen's terms .....LIE. And the more I try the more I
believe
this to be true!!!
The below towns receive
huge
amounts of tax payer money as a incentive
to enforce this Law. But
they have chosen to take the money and run.

New Jersey was
once
the most beautiful state ever, we need people to spread the word. I
believe
the media will only verify the validity of the contents of this webpage
to true and with hard facts, and the public driving it! There are
valuable
aquafers that run under our state providing us with the purest water,
this
has been tainted with toxins from polution that has been attacking our
water system. A human can only live three days without
water.
How can anyone in their right mind alloow this to continue? Our past
Governor
has shown her true colors by allowing this mess.
THIS IS ONE CRUMMY SYSTEM!
SEND THIS TO A FRIEND!please?
The world is ours, and I am alone in this fight. If
anyone can help or have a idea write me, please.
