In 2022, the City and County of Honolulu reported that residents and businesses produced over 1.2 million tons of solid waste. Based on this number, you’d think trash covers the entire island! So, where does it all go?
The new year and a new decade have brought with it some exciting changes. A new ban on plastics on Oahu is now in effect, prohibiting Oahu retailers from distributing plastic bags to shoppers immediately. By 2021, basically all plastic utensils will be banned, as well as plastic containers from restaurants by 2022.
PSAs strategically use visuals, music, and pacing to draw public attention to the fight to eliminate trash from Hawaii’s roadways, beaches, and waterways.
