We often wonder, “Why is no one doing something about this?” until it occurs to us to look in the mirror. Kudos to a recent letter writer for taking action (“HECO, Hawaiian Tel act fast to clear ugly debris,” Star-Advertiser, May 27).

For too long I wondered why no one did anything about a noisy, loose sewer drain cover, unsightly waist-high weeds on King Street and a person habitually behaving dangerously on Queen Street. All three problems were promptly solved once I took action. My new motto: If I’m going to complain about it, I owe it to myself to do something about it.
