Subject: Support Bill 83, Draft 2
Aloha to Chair and members of our Hawai'! County Council,
We now have a fantastic opportunity for Hawa!'i Island - I'm writing to ask that you please support Bill 83, Draft 2, and
its amendments. This is a huge step forward!
It's getting worse - 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'!'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. Let's wise up!
C=u
Please stand for our beautiful environment, our health, and our endangered well-being.
