Big changes are afoot that impact Hawaii visitors and residents alike. The state hopes to reduce single-use plastics drastically.
Implementation of this new Law shouldn’t occur prior to 2027 in order to give me 1 more visit before this begins. I, for 1, remember that taste of drinking water from aluminum cans, it really Sucks, and Hawaiians are in for a real treat. I feel like we are Revisiting dumb, failed, ideas from the past. Putting a large refund on each plastic bottle could work well, until the money disappears! Hawaiian Politicians jump towards any idea, good or bad, that justifies their paycheck and make themselves seem attentive to concerns.
I actually like a nice cold drink from an aluminum can but think that aluminum is problematic for the environment too. Alaska airlines now serves water in recyclable cardboard containers that make sense for the environment and easy to use and dispose of for the consumer. We need to think about the World that we’re leaving our grandchildren. Mahalo!
There’s one other good size issue. Waste Management has said, they are having a very hard time recycling plastic bottles. They don’t think it’s doable.
Why would you have this headline? Why would you encourage more plastic to come here when we can’t deal with what we have encourage Hydro flasks and other metal reusable bottles for guests and residents!
I lived on Maui most of my life. After Costco came it would pain me to see all those tourists leaving with so many cases of water. Only to be thrown away (HI 5 – ha) this has been a long time coming. Lets all use containers we can wash and reuse.
Yes! We need to act Now, not 3 years from now, on stopping the sale of single use plastic. It would be great if the they included stopping the sale of the small liquor bottles as well. I frequently pick up garbage on my walks and these are thrown out the windows of cars and are everywhere!
Why not today? The excessive use of plastic is such an enormous problem between plastic bottles and Keurig pods. When I travel to Hawaii, or anywhere, I bring my Hydroflask. I just refill it and add a couple ice cubes and have cold water all day. How difficult is that? That bottle will last me a lifetime. Saves me a ton of money long term.
It’s about time! Lake Tahoe could benefit from this too.
