Subject: Support Bill 83, Draft 2
Aloha Chair and members of our County Council,
This is a fantastic opportunity for Hawa!'i Island. I strongly urge you to support Bill 83, Draft 2, and its amendments. This
is a huge step forward!
Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to our island's health, ecosystems, and future generations. Every year,
more than 11 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean, breaking down into microplastics that now contaminate our
air, water, and even human blood and organs. Hawai'i's marine life —turtles, seabirds, and fish —are ingesting plastics at
alarming rates, and these same toxins enter our food chain. Simply switching to nontoxic, biodegradable products will
help us transition to doing better for our future!
We all know plastic does not biodegrade and impacts us for a lifetime.
