Although the most recent hearing went great and the bill (SB 2498) continues to move forward it still needs help!

There were over 500 written testimonies sent in to support SB 2498 and only a few in opposition, mostly from the restaurant industry and polystyrene manufacturers, but paid lobbyists for those two industries are making the voice of the opposition much stronger!

It is more important than ever to send e-mails (A LOT of e-mails) to Hawaii's Representatives to voice your SUPPORT for SB 2498. You can write them a simple "Please support SB 2498" or pages on the reasons why you want a ban on polystyrene foam, every e-mail counts!

You can copy and paste their e-mails below:repluke@Capitol.hawaii.gov; repcullen@Capitol.hawaii.gov

Spread the word and encourage your friends and family to do the same!
