Clean Up Oceans by Cleaning Up Driveways

Re “Wider Bid for Clean Beaches,” editorial, Aug. 9:

There is no need to spend “millions” to keep the ocean clean. Take a ride to any convalescent hospital (and I am sure many commercial establishments) and watch the polluted water, from washing kitchen and laundry containers, run down the driveways to the curbs.

I know Los Angeles has gone after restaurants about dumping grease in the sink drains. The workers have to be educated and trained to do the job right.

Forget the Water Quality Board meetings and get out in the field and inspect. If we have “millions” to spend, then spend it for inspectors and on education and less on board meetings.
