Letters for Sept. 18: If you are going to use the free Chesapeake Bay, pick up your trash

Letter writers urge visitor to pick up their garbage at the Chesapeake Bay, express fear about former President Donald Trump potentially handling classified documents again, and discuss the presidential debate.

Preliminary reports indicate that more than 64,000 pounds of litter will not flow into Virginia’s waterways thanks to thousands of volunteers who participated in the Chesapeake Bay Foundation’s annual Clean the Bay Day. On June 1, 2,875 volunteers and more than 60 partner organizations gathered at more than 200 sites in Richmond, Hampton Roads, the Eastern Shore, Northern Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley and at Virginia state parks. As in previous years, the most common items found during this year’s cleanup were plastic and glass bottles, plastic wrappers, plastic bags and cigarette butts.
