Subject: Bans and Bags
Aloha Council Members,
If we don't have the where-with-all to ban plastic bags, then let's also ban paper bags, or put a mandatory
charge of 5 cents for each paper and/or plastic bag customers use at the stores. We all can and should be
using reusable cloth bags, like they do in most of the world. It's simple laziness that we demand to use
(and for the most part, promptly discard) hundreds of thousands of both plastic and paper bags each year
on Hawai'i Island. We can do better than this.
Also, let's retrofit all street lights to energy-saving LED's soon. After the initial costs are recouped, it's
all money in the bank,
And lastly, no more free fuel for any government employee, period. This is nuts.
Thanks for your ear. Take care,
Sincerely,
John Lyle
Comm. No.
