Subject: I support Bill 71
Aloha Council members,
I have been a farmer in Kurtistown for more than 35 years growing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and I support
Bill 71.
The days of the quick fix at the expense of long term consequences are over. The present climate crisis is testimony to
this fact that is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. Mother nature is lecturing us on the basic principle that means
and ends are directly connected.
If we want a sustainable, healthy planet, the means we use must be in line with the end that we seek. The County of
Hawaii can lead by example by stop praying herbicides on county property, including roads, parks, etc. that the county
maintains.
Mahalo for your support pg Bill 71.
