As Twitchy noted during the “People’s Climate March,” protesters in New York City left quite a mess after they were done demonstrating to save the planet.
Not so in Hong Kong where those protesting the authoritarian rule of mainland China are giving the world a lesson in “civil” civil-disobedience and showing just how easy it is to clean up after themselves — unlike those dirty hippies in the Big Apple.
Check out these amazing photos:

When my people protest, we make sure to recycle, compost and throw away trash too. #civilized http://t.co/hLunYFRnXX #OccupyCentral

Great job, Hong Kong and maybe one day protesters in America can follow your lead.
