Plastic cups are dumb

And we live on an island. So in our case, they are really dumb.

Single use plastic cups. Eww.

Even if they say "biodegradable" that means that they are biodegradable in the context of a commercial composting setting. We don't got one of those on Kauai.

Glass jars. Yay!

You can see where this is going.

Goal: Eliminate plastic cups in Hanalei.

And make a model for the world.

We need:

  • A small team

  • A badass plan

  • A bunch of glass jars

  • Some sort of incentive to turn them back in

  • A place to clean them

  • Some excited businesses

  • A cool electric vehicle to pick up and drop off jars

What help do we need?

Mostly, super excited, intelligent people ready to talk to businesses and make some crazy things happen.
