Keeping clean (letter to the editor)
Bellingham has been ranked No. 1 for cleanest metropolitan areas in the United States for ozone air pollution.
However, when walking through this gorgeous city it鈥檚 not hard to notice the scattered debris. Cans and bottles, cigarette butts, and just plain trash can be seen anywhere. Litter is everyone鈥檚 problem, trash in our streets poses a threat to public health, especially since we live next to the ocean. The smallest bits of litter can go down storm drains and travel to the ocean where it can harm fishes and other ocean life.
