Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii

THE REDUCTION OF POLLUTION ON COASTLINES THROUGH LARGE SCALE BEACH CLEANUPS AND EDUCATION TO INSPIRE BETTER CONSUMER BEHAVIORS AND CONTINUED COASTAL STEWARDSHIP.

OUR LARGE-SCALE CLEANUPS ARE HANDS-ON AND ENGAGING COMMUNITY BEACH CLEANUPS HELD ACROSS THE ISLANDS. WITH A FOCUS ON FUN AND EDUCATION, OUR GOAL IS TO TAKE GRASS-ROOTS ACTION TO INSPIRE GLOBAL CHANGE. PLASTIC POLLUTION IS AN OVERWHELMING ISSUE AND WITH THE HELP OF THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS, OVER HALF A MILLION POUNDS OF DEBRIS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM OUR COASTLINES. HOWEVER, WHAT WE'VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY IS THAT CLEANING CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. IT IS NOT THE SOLUTION; CLEANUPS ARE THE GATEWAY TO BEHAVIOR CHANGE. AFTER SPENDING A COUPLE OF HOURS DOING THE HARD WORK WITH THE SCH CREW, WE KNOW THAT YOU WILL NEVER LOOK AT PLASTIC THE SAME. SUSTAINABLE COASTLINES HAWAI'I CLEANUPS ARE IMMERSIVE, INSPIRING PEOPLE TO LOOK DEEPER INTO THE PRODUCTSTHEY PURCHASE AND USE ON A DAILY BASIS. TOGETHER, WE CAN TURN OFF THE TAP TO PLASTIC POLLUTION BY CHANGING HOW WE CONSUME AND ASKING MORE FROM THE BUSINESSES THAT PROVIDE US WITH GOODS AND SERVICES. WE'LL NEVER ASK YOU TO BE PERFECT AT CLEANUPS, JUST TO TAKE NOTICE AND BE PART OF A COMMUNITY OF POSITIVE CHANGE.
