Petition: Tell Hawaii to Take Action on Plastic Waste

House Bill 85, proposed by Hawaii State Representative Nicole Lowen, would be a game-changer for sustainability in the Aloha State. The bill would ban the wasteful, small plastic bottles that are found in hotels across the state.

Given how riddled our oceans and landfills are with plastic, this would be an amazing victory for the planet and the billions of animals that call it home.

Unfortunately, the bill has been deferred, wasting away in Senate committees for months while our oceans fill up with plastic waste. Let’s urge those committee chairs to get this bill moving once again!

Please sign this petition to tell Hawaii Senate Committee chairs Mike Gabbard and Lynn DeCoite to take action on plastic waste!
