I want to talk about the BYOB that stands for "Bring Your Own Bag."
Here in the Maui County we started the BYOB not too long ago. Before that we were using plastic bags to carry our groceries and things we buy at a store. Using plastic bags made our island look dirty and polluted because people were just throwing their plastic bags all over the place. They would get caught in fences, stay in the grass and maybe get into our beaches.
But after we started the BYOB, the island started looking clean. Well, I think that this was a great idea and that all the islands should start doing this - especially Oahu because there are so many people living there. It could make a difference if they made that change. It is also a way of going green. Everything would look and be cleaner and make our islands beautiful.
