Opala is a big problem here in the islands. How many more years are we gonna be able to dump our opala in Kea'au Landfill? On Oahu they are already worried about what to do when the Kailua Landfill is all full. Can't keep making mountains of trash!
As far as people filling their property with different types of opala, that is their own business and there ain't to much we can do about it.
What is the law for burning trash on your property on the Big Island? We gotta do something, and fast. Like I said, most of the landfills in the islands are all full, or pretty damn close to being all filled up.
Hey, I just thought of a good idea
] We should ship all our opala to Micronesia! Kinda like going to the dump here. We put all our used paper products such as dirty diapers, Sanitary napkins, etc., to the island of Chuuk. Send all our abandoned cars to Yap, and all the rest of our trash to Truk! Why you ask do I single out Micronesia? If you are aware of your surroundings you'd agree. I hate to come off like a Bigot, but these people are a real burden here(Hawaiian Islands). I know this will offend some of you, but I really don't give a ....hoot! I've watched as these people have come in a just abused the Aina here. I'm tired of the indigenous people here getting blamed by tourist for awful that Micronesians do. Let me give you an example. My wife works at the Hilton in Waikaloa, and on some occasions I will drive her to work at the Waikaloa Hilton, then spend the day with my two boys at the beach. Normally my wife will ride the Hele-on Bus from Hilo to Waikaloa. She tells me that everyday while workers await the bus to return to Hilo they all lounge around on the one corner. Every friggin day these people leave their opala where they waited for the bus. This is a Micronesian's "MO", to leave opala anywhere, anytime. It's somewhat funny because that 's why they are there in Waikaloa in the first place, working at the resorts...they pick up the opala around the grounds of these hotels yet the are the biggest offenders of this crime....do I hear oxymoron?
How many times while workng in Waikiki have I heard a tourist say, "why do the Hawaiians leave their trash there on the beach, when there is trash cans right over there less than 20 yards away!!!" I was constantly educating tourists on this subject. "yes locals at times do leave trash on the beach, but they will not leave dirty diapers in the sand, or take a dump on the beach either!
So being raised in Hawaii, I was constantly defending Hawaiians when tourist would make these observations. So yeah, I have learned to really have a distain for these people, and that is why I single them out! If you think i'm wrong, or out there on this subject. Just ask some other Hawaiians how they feel about their Aina, and how they feel about Micornesians and their custom of leaving trash everywhere they go here in Hawaii! It frigg'in makes me sick to my stomach. It also makes me wanna break out my kid's 46 ounce Reggie Jackson Louisville Slugger a go and hit some kinky headed brown baseballs! There was a reason why my co-workers(beachboys) gave me the nickname"Hitman" down on Waikiki Beach where I worked as a surf instructor/outrigger capt.for close to 16 yrs!
Handle every situation like a dog,If you can't eat it or hump it,piss on it and walk away...
