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 Hawaii 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.
Please ban styrofoam and reduce trash and pollution.
I am from the Pacific Northwest.There, most of the to go containers are all compostable as they are in California.This is
just a few cents more expensive for restaurants. I would be willing to pay that extra nickel for a better to go container.
Styrofoam was a mistake by humans. We need to start the change here.
Many thanks for your time and consideration.
Blessings,
