Council Testimony
Written Testimony - Bill 83, Draft 2
I am writing to strongly urge you to support Bill 83, Draft 2, and its amendments.
Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to our island's ecosystems and our health
for generations to come. 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, tissues, and organs. Hawaii'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 our waste management
system and transition us to do better for our future!
Thank you, N
C-�,
Amy `"
