I saw you (and pretty much everyone else in the apartment complex) carelessly throwing cardboard in the trash dumpster. Did you not see the “Cardboard Only” dumpster right next to it? Don’t you know that our landfill is filling up fast? Don’t you know that there’s responsibility that comes with your refuse? Here’s a thought: stop being lazy and quit wasting taxpayer’s money! Of course, this “Eh Brah” is probably wasted on you–you won’t even read two words, so why would you sit through an entire paragraph? The least you could do, for all of us taxpayers, is read these last words: Ua Mau ke Ea oka ‘Aina I Ka Pono–“The life of the land is perpetuated by righteousness.”
