Morgan Craig-Williams: Citizen Lobbyist:Research the Issue

        I would say that this is a good year ad the city sweepers are coming along. They are not in all places  of the city, but I have seen them more around my house. Its not often that they come through back to back like they do in Center City, but there is a difference in my area that I live in.

           The essential stakeholders in this outcome are the hundreds of kids that live in Philadelphia that have to constantly walk over trash in the streets. This is for the elders who look at young children just disrespect the area by throwing trash on the ground, littering and it staying there forever. This out come effects pets and and their owners, having the confidence of going on a walk around the neighborhood and not having to limit their dog because  they don't know if they will eat some trash that was thrown about.

This is not just a problem of street sweepers not being prominent in urban areas, it basically just the trash that litters the street. Every one can help. If a group of kids volunteer just an hour of their time to cleaning up a park near them, or a busy street, they can make a difference.

 I can influence any one that is with ear shot.   It would be great to get a group of students to go out and clean, starting close like the school. People seem to get really motivated when things are visual. Even though this is a lobbying assignment for better city cleaning support in urban areas of Philadelphia, we can also help by at least making out school a cleaner place.
