Cigarette Butts are Litter.

Posted on June 20, 2007 | 3 comments

Look down in the gutter of any road in the Pascack Valley, NJ, and you will notice that the most prevalent litter is in the form of cigarette butts.  It’s just despicable.  Where do these smokers get off using the ground as their personal garbage dump?

This is a call for the local police to do something constructive and to stop turning a blind eye toward these destructive litter habits which impact personal and environmental health.  Enforce the quality of life ordinances!

Cigarette butts are not readily degradable.  Cigarette butts are litter.  Don’t be a litter pig.

Motorcycle Noise.

Posted on May 20, 2007 | 4 comments

It’s a quality of life issue: motorcycle noise.  You know, those loud motorcycles that are illegally modified to make excessive noise.  It’s the type of contraption only a brain-dead individual would own; one would have to be brain-dead to make a road vehicle louder.

Illegal motorcycle exhaust modifications impact everyone in at least a quarter-mile radius from the offending vehicle.  Many of these noise machines are found driving around Westwood and the Pascack Valley every day.  Why won’t the police enforce the local noise ordinances as well as the NHTSA and EPA regulations on motorcycle emissions??

It is a disturbing reality that Westwood’s overstaffed and overpaid cops turn a blind eye to quality of life issues like excessive noise emanating from illegally-modified motorcycles on local roads.
