Last week you postedY Here is a column Which brought a wave of reactions.
The column was copied to various channels in various media, in discussion groups, and in other places that may not have come to my attention.
Following the many responses - here is Chapter 2 of the exact same topic.

In the previous column, I talked about how the Haredim do dirty things, but they don't dirty things more than others.
Visually, you can see that even the huge parks that are not inhabited by Haredim are also dirty, after walking through them. However, when the park is large and wide, the dirt spreads over a large area, and the dirt is less visible. However, when a large crowd gathers on every millimeter of space, the dirt is much more noticeable.
True, only in Haredi neighborhoods and in parks where Haredis hang out can we find used wipes and dirty diapers. On the other hand, only in non-Haredi neighborhoods can we find the dirt that dogs leave under every fresh tree.
Haredi people leave behind trash like everyone else. It's just that one person's trash is not the same as another's.
Just as in general districts there are people who maintain cleanliness and pick up their dog poop, and there are others who leave trail marks behind them, because they are apparently less clean - so it is with the Haredim. There are those who are more careful, and there are those who are less careful.
I also mentioned the assumptions that are inevitably made to families with children, as we all understand that it is more difficult to control a group of children than two.
Are the Haredim really polluting decency?
Yes. The Haredim pollute the gardens, the parks, the beaches. The Haredim are human beings!
Humans, by their very nature, dirty the places they live in. They live in their own homes, and homes, even if they are exceptionally clean and meticulous, get dirty!
They drive their cars, and even if the driver takes extraordinary care of his vehicle, the vehicle still gets dirty.
It is a fact that even a clean house requires regular maintenance, just like a shiny car does.
Like any place where people live, our city streets also require regular maintenance. In fact, an entire department in the municipality is responsible for cleaning the streets and parks.
In places where many people gather together, it is necessary to ensure that more employees arrive at the location.
It seems that this is not always done...
If maintenance and sanitation workers were sent to each area, according to the number of people visiting it - we could all see our country cleaned up.
Yes, the Haredim pollute the decency. They do it no more than anyone else!

And yet, for the minority who are not careful, and for those who are careful, but unknowingly left a 'Bamba' wrapper on the grass - I want to emphasize and say:
We all prefer to walk on clean streets, we all prefer to view a landscape that has not been damaged by human hands. For your sake, for our own sake, let's be doubly careful.
Because we do make messes like everyone else, but we need to be twice as careful.
Not because someone is taking pictures, not because someone is teasing, not because later they will say: 'The Haredim are dirty.'.
All of these things will be done and said whether we are like this or like others.
We are committed to ourselves, to our children, to our neighbors, and we will continue to improve until our camp is pure.
