At the beginning of each new year, we think of ways to change our actions to benefit ourselves and those around us. I understand that on Oahu thousands of trees are chopped down every year to build more buildings. What if we all resolved to plant one tree this coming year?
Surely this small action would help us all. Additionally, those of us living in the Pacific are especially well aware that our ocean is full of plastic; many of our beaches show evidence of this phenomenon. What if each of us were to strive to buy less plastic in 2025?
Do we need to rely on the government to solve these dreadful environmental problems that will drastically affect our children and grandchildren in ways we cannot now imagine? We all can help improve our planet. Please, please consider what you can do.
