Subject: Bill 140 to "Hold the Foam" (EPS Foam Food Service Project) on Hawai'i Island
Testimony
Aloha,
I, Mary Beth Flemming, 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
9
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.
Mahalo
