The Bitter Truth Hawai‘i Campaign is proposing legislation to add a fee onto drinks with added sugar, like fruit drinks, sweetened teas and coffees, sports drinks, and sodas to generate revenue for programs focused on building better health in Hawai‘i. A two-cent-per-ounce fee on drinks is estimated to raise $60.8 million per year. This revenue would then be invested into communities to improve health. 

Communities know what is best for themselves and their future, and for years have designed proposals to improve health like water bottle filling stations, making healthy food more accessible, making neighborhoods safer for recreation, and so much more. The results of this survey will help us understand what programs and initiatives communities in Hawai‘i would like to see funded by the sugary drink fee.
