1. Plan of action
1.1. Add some signs in public areas stating some littering laws that comes with penalties so that tourists would avoid littering as much as possible
1.2. Use biodegradable plastic so that we don't have to worry about it getting in the ocean since it will decompose naturally
1.3. Since it's imposible to clean up the garbage pactch in the ocean we could just raise awareness on plastic pollution having negative effects on marine creatures and we could start by gathering people to help clean the beaches here in hawaii so that it wouldn't get in our oceans.
1.4. Try to avoid buying more plastic products like bottles and recycle plastic by reusing the bottles or plastic containers that you already have
1.5. Add more trash bins in public places like parks and beaches so that tourists can find a container for their trash.
1.6. Add more life gaurds so that they can remind the tourists to throw away their trash in the bins.
