"Plastic more polluting than paper..."

(Editors note, The island of Kauai voted against Ferry service to neighboring islands in 2008. Now in 2011 our county council decides to outlaw plastic bags and bring back paper bags in lieu of)

There where those who believed the Super-ferry needed an EIS, myself and many others feel that an EIS would had been in order before the county council adopted and voted into the law, the new current plastic
bag ban. This ban was decided by seven people who won a popularity contest and should had been put out for the people of Kaua'i to vote on.

If proper research had been employed, we could had learned from a  Los Angeles county EIR In 2009 that paper is actually more polluting than plastic, best thing to had done would had been to outlaw plastic and paper and require everyone to bring cloth bags.

I am publicly asking for the new members of county council to study Los Angeles counties EIS and what was discovered and to do what is pono(righteous) and reverse this totally ridiculous plastic ban.

Enclosed is a link to the studies confirming paper is far worse for the environment.
