Day 339: Styrofoam and Plastic

During our recent visit to Honolulu, I was struck again (unpleasantly) by the vast amount of Styrofoam and plastic bags in use at restaurants and stores. I find this so odd, given the emphasis that is typically placed on natural resources and conservation within the islands. It's rather disappointing and frustrating that Hawai'i hasn't passed a pan on these nasty materials that take so very long to break down and pollute the environment in the meantime.
