Management Waste Solution in Hawaii

By: Kim Russell Comenta

Hawaii is just a small island and yet it accumulates so much waste.

We wonder where all those waste go?

Waimanalo Landfill, Kau’auhuhu Landfill,

and West Hawaii landfill are one of places Hawaii puts

its waste

Solution:Biodegradable

and Non-biodegradable so

waste can be recycled

Bring reusable bags to the market to

minimize the use of plastic

It takes 13% more energy to make a single paper bag

than to make two plastic bags.

Hawaii Just Became The First

State To Ban Plastic Bags At

Grocery Checkouts

Our own foodland in

Laie has started this

program

My Solution to This

Problem

Use Reusable Bags! Start With Myself First and Own Family.

Set As An Example and Encourage Others to Use Reusable Bags
