Chair Onishi, Vice Chair Wille, and Members of the Committee:
Dexter Yamada is President of KYD Inc, doing business as K Yamada Distributors. I am Joy Gold, consultant to
Dexter Yamada and KYD, Inc. KYD, Inc. is a locally founded, family run business in Kalihi. KYD, Inc. began in
the 1940's as a florist and a supplier of florist supplies. In 1958 it evolved into the packaging company it is
today and later expanded into a distributor of many other fine products. KYD, Inc and its sister company,
Hawaii Foam Products, LLC provide jobs to about 90—100 men and women and contribute much to Hawaii's
economy in the form of payroll and taxes.
Support is expressed for encouraging the use,of refillable water containers through easy access to water bottle
filling stations at County Parks and Recreation facilities island-wide. The intent of minimizing the use of
plastic bottles through this method can be supported. An outright ban on plastic water bottles cannot be
supported.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify.
