Subject: I support Bill 13 to reduce polystyrene foam food containers on Hawai'i Island!
Aloha members of the council,
I support the initiative proposed by Councilwoman O'Hara to reduce the amount of polystyrene foam food containers&
food service ware on Hawai'i Island starting on July 1st, 2018. It is important for us to make decisions that promote the
health and wellness of our island communities and native wildlife. Bill 13 is one of such crucial steps in the right
direction, and will lead us on a pathway towards a zero-waste and sustainability for our island home.
•
Many cities and counties have enacted similar bills. We must think of the future and not just the immediate financial
gains.
Many thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Yuri Cardenas
Oakland, California
