Keep Your ‘Stuff’ to Yourself

“The City of Angels Does Its Dirty Work Well,” by James Ricci (SoCal P.O.V., March 5), is interesting but Ricci didn’t finish the story.

It’s an almost constant battle out here to keep big-city sludge from polluting us. That “stuff” still teems with your viruses and bacteria, no matter how appealing it is to the sea gulls. The companies that process what’s left over from the sea gulls must first dry it out in huge spreading areas, and guess where they try to do that smelly, harmful, contaminating job: on our pristine land.

Keep your own trash. You, on the other hand, are welcome. Bring money and a bathing suit, skis or whatever. It’s beautiful here.
