ADOPT A BLOCK JANUARY 23

Animoto Video from the most recent video has been posted. We had 30 volunteers come out to help. The Cigarette Butt count was a little over 1200 and we collected about 4 bags of compost and 2 bags of trash. This is a reduction in the amount of litter found in all categories. 

The long term effects of Huakailani taking care of Hekili Street are becoming evident. Way to go!

The girls and families identified several new areas that could use cigarette butt planters. We will begin work on the decorating and setting up the new butt planters in February.  Stay tuned!

How much Food Waste? [Voice Thread]

Do you know about Non-Source Point pollution?

Whether you have a stream running through your backyard, business, local school or park, protecting it is a good idea. Many property owners upstream may not realize that what they do on their land impacts other residents and water quality downstream. Every day pollutants such as trash, yard waste (e.g., grass clippings, leaves, prunings, or fruits), paint, construction debris (e.g., stockpiles of soil, sand, or gravel), used motor oil, fertilizers and pesticides, and dog waste reach our urban streams. Trash on stream banks are unsightly and unsanitary for humans and wildlife. Even organic materials such as yard waste are unacceptable to dump along streams banks. When these materials get into the stream cycle, they decompose and eliminate critical, life-giving oxygen from the water. As a result, streams become unsightly and emit foul odors.
