Single Use Plastic

general

Do you ever actually think about how much plastic is in our daily lives?

Everywhere you look.. PLASTIC!

Chairs, tables, cups, containers, bags, cars, windows, doors, key FOBs.. etc.

Everyone should do their part and stop using single use plastic bottles! Hawai’i has already had a plastic bag ban.

Although I don’t quite understand the concept of banning plastic grocery bags, when our rubbish bags are also plastic.. not only are they plastic, they are LARGER and DURABLE! What other alternative is there that we can use to dispose of our rubbish?

If you have never seen the effects of plastic in the albatross on Midway Atoll or seen the video of a plastic straw being removed from a turtle’s nose.. please educate yourself. We need to help eliminate plastic altogether!

How you can do your part:

  • Buy reusable water bottles
  • Buy reusable metal straws
  • Bring tote bags with you when grocery shopping
  • Stop buying plastic utensils
  • If you go to the beach, pick up any plastic that you see
  • Buy glass Tupperware

  • Find alternatives for plastic items.

    do you ever stop and think of all the rubbish and plastic bags that ends up on the beaches and in the oceans? Sea life think they are food.. if you see any kind of rubbish on the ground- PICK IT UP.    Don’t just STARE at it. Do you feel ashamed to be picking up someone else’s rubbish? Why? Tourists and locals could enjoy the beauty of Oahu even MORE if there wasn’t rubbish flying around  . Smokers DO NOT throw your cigarette butts on the ground or dig it into the sand.. throw it away!

    Do your part and pick up a piece of rubbish on the ground everyday. Pass this message along to others. If everyone did their share, this could be a beautiful place again.

    I am thinking of putting together a beach clean up event.
