We, the undersigned, support the resolutions (SCR142/SR74 & HCR192/HR161, SCR 146/SR78 & HCR193/HR162) currently before the Hawaii State Legislature, addressing the threats posed by styrofoam upon our environment and health, and encouraging the use of alternative products to styrofoam which are readily available and affordable.
These resolutions represent a step in the right direction by promoting a more sustainable and more environmentally conscious Hawaii. We encourage you, our elected Representatives, to support and adopt these resolutions.

There are many alternatives that are now being used by environmentally conscious businesses in this State. There is no reason that biodegradable products cannot be substitued for styrofoam. If we, the people do not take drastic measures it will be too late.

I have practiced medicine for 24 years, and owned a clinic in Hawaii for 14 of those. We do not consider this problem frivolous. Polystyrenes, and in fact many related plastic polymers used in thousands of everyday items, are toxic to humans. They act as pro-neoplastic compounds (cancer promoters), endocrine disruptors, and a host of other negative consequences.
More than most, Hawaii is deeply connected to its physical environment. As our environment biomagnifys these persistent organic pollutants (POPs) we are seeing its negative health impact on the health of our communities.
These problems will have the greatest impact on our children and grandchildren. This is clearly the time to act.
Respectfully,

Styrofoam is completely unecessary - there are a plethora of green alternatives. Please - let's do our part to remove this pollutant from our planet. Mahalo!

We need to stop the consumption of styrofoam and plastic bags, and switch to biodegradable products. sustainableislandproducts.com has those alternatives.

I hope this signature is not too late to be presented with others at the hearing. I think a lot of people are not aware of the hearings and are not having time to voice their concerns.
