Love Thy Tourist?

[shockwave rider]

Tourism/service industry jobs pay about the same as picking orders at an Amazon warehouse, and pollute far less than heavy industries like a steel mill or paint factory, but if you aren't making money off them tourists can sure negatively impact your way of life on a daily basis. If tourism was accompanied by a strong commitment to preserve the natural beauty of Hawaii and protect our ecosystems it would be easier to take, but statewide it just seems to be about exploiting the natural beauty without protecting it.
