New Water Bottling Plant in Hilo Proposed

[Obie]

First it was plastic grocery bags then plastic straws and now plastic water bottles that are the cause of ocean pollution.

In all of the ocean cleanups I participated in down in Kapoho, it was fishing gear from fishermen and fishing boats that we picked up.Tons of nets and fishing line.Ropes,coolers,floats but I don't think I ever saw a grocery bag.

Let's ban water bottles, maybe if the fishermen don't have water to drink they will quit fishing and leaving their nets behind.
