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.
Styrofoam was a mistake by humans.We need to start the change here. Alternative products are out there that can
be utilized. As a consumer, I have no problem paying more for a plate lunch or take out that is in a sustainable
package. I actually try to avoid businesses that don't show any care for our environment.
Many thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Hallie A. Adolf
