If your kid had gotten more eggs would you be wielding that environmental club so quickly? anytime you rely on the government for a free handout expect a long line.

The 15,000 plastic eggs that are not recyclable, mean offering fun to our kids at the expense of their future quality of life. People had to wait in excessively long lines only to find that there were no eggs left for their kids because other families filled entire plastic bags to the rim with the plastic eggs. When I said to one dad who easily had collected 30 eggs for his son that other kids hadn't gotten any, he responded that I should relax because it was Easter. Right! What are we celebrating here exactly: waste, excess, the inability to exercise restraint? I am not sure what the solution is. Paper eggs? People bringing their own eggs? But one thing is certain, next year, I'll be celebrating a green Easter, and if the Dumbo Easter Egg Hunt is not substantially changed, I'll be hunting eggs somewhere else.
