Subject: Support of Bill 140
I, Kallie Barnes a Volcano Village and Hawaii Island Resident, support Bill 140 because I am deeply concerned by
the negative health impacts that single-use EPS foam and plastic have on our marine wildlife and human health.
EPS foam continues to find its way into the ocean and can end up being ingested by numerous marine animals for
years to come. When we sit down to eat our local fish, chances are that we could be ingesting plastics and
chemicals too. I am emboldened by our keiki to make a commitment to change this behavior and show them that we
will take steps to support a cleaner future for all.
