Green trivia We all know about the classic Dr. Seuss story of the Lorax, don’t we? It’s the one where the fuzzy little PR guy who speaks for the trees takes on a corporate mogul type to stop pollution and clear-cutting.

Plastic Bag Bans Spreading Through the Islands Following Maui’s lead, the Hawaii County Council voted August 27, 2009 to ban all Big Island businesses from offering plastic checkout bags to customers at the point of sale. The bill, which would go into effect one year after passage, would prohibit stores from using both compostable and non-biodegradable plastic bags. Violators would pay up to $1,000 per day. The money would be used to preserve open space and natural resources. The bill awaits approval of Mayor Harry Kim. Maui’s bill has already been sign...
