Hawaii Cesspool

[TomK]

The beautiful westside beaches are at risk of becoming a toilet bowl?

Well there's your answer for curbing tourist waste - less tourists...

Only one person has brought up the suggestion that tourists should be banned and even he, I think, realized it's not a feasible idea. Hawaii is dependent on tourists and without them, the state will fail. The point about cesspools is not only do they pollute groundwater, but they also pollute coastal waters, especially where ocean currents are unable to take the pollutants a long way offshore.

No one has claimed the west side beaches are at risk.
