Something is being done.
During the 2 weeks from Sep 6 to 20, a team of people experienced in working with communities across the US, Europe, and Asia to recycle and get on the path to Zero Waste will be on the island.
The first week the team will be on the West side and the second week the East side. Each week they will work for one day with each of these groups of people in the community: organics (greenwaste, dirty paper, food discards, etc); re-use (building materials, clothing, etc); recycling (paper, metal, plastic, etc); special discards (e.g., batteries, diapers, florescent bulbs); and community education (with County officials, school administrators, community groups).
The goal is to kick start a Zero Waste plan and action.
This project is being funded from Bob Jacobson's District discretionary fund.
Recycle Hawaii is the local coordinating group.
