Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Tourists in Hawaii are known for their disrespect towards the local ecosystem. Throwing rocks at endangered species is a new low. The “I’m rich enough to pay” attitude doesn’t quite work when you’re facing federal charges. Lani the monk seal is doing fine, but the tourist’s reputation is not.
The routine arrives with confidence, but also with a hefty fine.
