Bill 40: The Economic Consequences
When I wrote this editorial, the City & County of Honolulu had passed bill 40 which is one of the most restrictive bills in the country on banning single-use plastics.

I wrote this article during a time of student distrust in our student government. I chose to pursue this story because I wanted to voice the concerns of students as well as to call into question the legitimacy of having student election compared to choosing a qualified person to lead and represent the student body. I received a lot of criticism from this editorial, but I also received a lot of praise amongst the student body.
