Thanks bystander,
I think it is horrible to see locals littering which I've actually never actually seen in person or I would have them turned in. I wonder if it is only the Hawaiians or locals? I'm sure there are some non hawaiians doing this too. They by no means have the right to do that regardless of whether the land was sold to non hawaiians, it is not right to kiloi `opala (litter). You know, we used to have a non hawaiian neighbor who lived next door to our house lot in Kona, who didn't want to take his garbage to the transfer stations (which is only 15 minutes from our house) so he made a big pile in the back yard which harbored mosquitos and was like a dump site. He also had buckets and buckets of lead which were filled with water just sitting in his yard harboring more mosquitos and possibly harboring West Nile virus etc.... I had to keep my kids in the house and worried everytime they went outside. Now he moved away and we have a non hawaiian botanist who bought the place. I couldn't ask for better neighbors. After buying the lot from this person, site unseen, they arrived here in Hawaii only to find the mounds of rubbish and lead. He was upset about it and made the previous owner clean it up. That made me very happy.
