P/ E <br /> M <br /> Murashige, Laura (E1B 2 12011 <br /> From: Larry & Lucia Samuels <Ilsamuels@gmail.com> • COUNTY CLERK <br /> Sent: Friday, February 17, 2017 9:45 AM COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> To: Council Testimony Timeq�I�RECEIVED <br /> EIVE <br /> Sbject: Foam ban support By .. <br /> Date '7 1111 <br /> Aloha, <br /> My name is Lucia Samuels &my husband is Larry Samuels. We have lived in Hilo area since 1993. We are <br /> completely in support of the Styrofoam ban. <br /> We are very concerned about light trash blowing around along our roadways and near and into the ocean. We <br /> live along the belt line highway and every week I am picking up general trash, including foam and light plastic <br /> items. <br /> I myself have attempted to do my part in avoiding use of Styrofoam in all's its forms, including taking my own <br /> reusable carry out containers from home to carry out food places. <br /> The argument that the business community makes that it will add to their costs if they have to pay for recyclable <br /> containers is not a valid excuse for trashing our beautiful environment. I am willing to pay more to businesses <br /> for their food projects. <br /> We should all do our part to minimize waste going into our landfills, especially items that don't naturally <br /> decompose. <br /> Please pass the Styrofoam ban. <br /> Mahalo, <br /> Lucia& Larry Samuels <br /> 266 Kuikahi St. <br /> Hilo <br /> No. 101' <br /> Ref.
