Lots of people have made fun of my pseudo-American accent and elaborate hand gestures in the video posted below! Nevertheless, Mahealani Richardson and I discuss incentive-based policies to reduce plastic bag use: the current plan on Oʻahu is to ban all plastic bags but the Abercrombie administration favors a bag tax to help support the chronically underfunded Department of Land and Natural Resources. My own view is that any policy that encourages people to use fewer plastic bags is a step in the right direction.
