Letter: Efforts to clean up litter are a gift to local communities

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • December 17, 2022

In response to the Belfast Coalition members picking up thousands of cigarette butts, plus, Ellsworth’s Bill Nelson’s (no relation) valiant efforts to clean up areas littered with old tires: What a gift these resolute citizens have given to their respective cities! Thousands of butts carelessly tossed into drainage ditches and along sidewalks, bravely recovered and properly disposed of. Six old tires cast aside. All it takes is a little extra effort, and a caring heart and a trash bag. ~ Trudy Nelson, Winterport
