Subject: Support Bill 83, Draft 2
Aloha Chair and members of our County Council,
This is a fantastic opportunity for Hawa!'! Island to be a leader in the zero waste movement! 1 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 a cleaner, healthier, and safer
future! We all know plastic does not biodegrade and impacts us for a lifetime. Please stand for our
environment, our health, and well-being.
Thankyou, ti
Gn
