How is that helpful or interesting in any way? I don't think talking about how much trash you pick is any interest of us, an intellectual community for intellectual discussion.

That's rather presumptuous, it is of interest to me.
And considering the previous post from last year received 100+ upvotes and 100+ comments, I think it's safe to say that it's of interest to others as well.

Is that relevant to the conversation? No, so that question doesn't need an answer. This is an intellectual discussions website, and you must contribute to participate here. Every submission and comment must teach everyone something, expand views, ideas and contribute to society in some way.

I don't know about that. Last year the OP and friends worked to pick up and document trash and now, a year later, that information has been used to make informed decisions about how to keep our streets - and society - cleaner.
I'd argue that OP has quite definitively _contributed to society_.
If he'd just posted "I picked up some trash" - I could understand your comments, but he's done the work, gathered data, written about it, etc. So w/r/t to _teaching something_, I know more now than I did before reading his post.
Quite frankly, I could attempt to compare your contributions to society (aside from the snarky, dismissive comments on HN) but you've opted to hide behind a new, anonymous account. If you believe a submission is off-topic, just flag it, creating a new throwaway account just to disparage it seems a bit extreme.
And please understand, I don't say this to disparage you or insult your incredible intellect - just in the hope that perhaps I can _expand your views_ on how OP's submission is of interest to members of this community.

You're replying to an obvious troll account. Don't engage with them, just flag their comments until a mod notices and bans them.
