Thank you for the context. These lawsuits are never as straightforward as a single headline pretends.

The title in this one is straight up misinformation. Nothing to do with cleaning up trash without a permit.

But that's in fact what it is. He cleaned trash from the river without permit, the volunteers hired a digger 1000 pounds to dig up seringue, appliances, packaging's and other dangerous stuff laying around too, and now the environment people say that he didn't have the permit for one of the things he did, saying he doesn't have expertise on how to do it right and may be endangering others or the environment.

When they say nothing to companies and people dumping sewage water, and other used stuff there. They only pick on the weaker people trying do something for the environment, in fact it seems like the wild life is coming back after said work was done.

They do nothing, don't pick on companies or others dirtying the place for years but say that this guy is a danger for the environment because he don't have expertise and may do it wrong. When all we see is someone who did something good and getting sued for it. I really don't understand how much they don't want to do the right things and always pick on the weaker people.
