Dear editor,
How can we make the Comox Valley more attractive to tourists? It's quite simple: "pick up litter."
A litter-free environment makes our community hugely more attractive than it already is. I did an art show in Newport Beach, Calif. The woman who ran the grounds was trained at Disneyland. Everyone from management down picked up litter. It was spooky how pristine the site was.
We can't expect government to pick up all the garbage. Every time I walk my dog I take a plastic bag and pick up the debris that unfortunately is everywhere. The big payoff is I get a warm mushy feeling when I can make my world a better place.
