    This is an example of what youth can do to decompress instead of doing drugs. Thank you Andy for your exemplary behavior. Media please publish more positive news like this one and people will watch more of it.

    Need to get more people working off their traffic violations by picking up litter along the roads. Also, dump fees are so high that some people just dump their stuff along the roadway. When I walk my dog, I pick up plastic water bottles that people have pitched out of their car -- it's symptomatic of the "I don't care about others" attitude that seemed to originate during the covid pandemic.

    We have the same belief as Andy. In SF Chinatown, we covered up graffiti that was tagged on the businesses metal gates. We do it for the community. If we can influenced people around us to care bc it take some effort, things would get better! And it's has, bc someone else is cleaning it up.
    Thank You, Andy for your inspiration that you have on others to do what you do! Everything starts with a little effort!

      Yup, I hate seeing trash on my street in front of my house, whether it's someone emptying their car as they get into it, or some ahole who leaves it next to a telephone pole because that's the universal dumping ground for douchebags. But come garbage day I get my kids little grabby toy that he never plays with and pick up the trash in and around my house. Don't get me wrong I'm still pissed at the people who dump it, but I know if I wait for someone else to clean it it will never get cleaned.

    When the government is run by people who can't manage or budget, hiring lazy people who don't their job while collecting paychecks, resulting in this mess. Andy Wang is a real life hero. May God protect him and keep him safe from harm and politicians who may go after him for being a good person.

    it is already bad enough for people to literally trash the same house we all are living in. the same house is our planet all of us live in. it is worse when we accept this common environmental pollution very easy to avoid as part of society and the environment. it is the mindset when it comes to people not caring but that should not be an excuse to let this problem go by without doing anything. this problem is very easy to avoid but can be taken care of. there is so much that can be done for litter removal that people claim where taxpayer money for litter removal goes. there is too much garbage and most are ending up in the ocean. storm drains also get filled with garbage people intentionally put in and not many people know this problem exists too.
