Festival That Aims to ‘Defend the Planet’ Causes Extensive Damage to Central Park, Forcing Partial Closure
To paraphrase a historical quote, leftists believe they must destroy the environment to save it.
At least, that’s the logical takeaway after the Global Citizen Festival decimated a third of the Great Lawn in New York City’s Central Park, forcing the city to close it until April, according to the New York Times.
The 12-acre space typically serves as a welcome oasis in a desert of concrete and asphalt until mid-November, but damage from festivalgoers and the heavy equipment used to get it concert-ready has “fully destroyed” a significant portion of the lawn.
“The Central Park Conservancy is very disappointed that the iconic Great Lawn is now closed and unavailable for New Yorkers to enjoy this fall,” a statement from the park’s management organization said.
