December Kailua Beach Park Clean-Up Redux

The rainy weather cleared up just in time. The clouds parted and revealed an ocean and canal zone littered with marine debris and trash run off from the town. We had the help of St. Anthony School Green Club (Go Warriors!) and approximately 30 PFK volunteers and their keiki. We recovered over 200 pounds of pollution including 20 pounds of recyclables! We also placed 4 of the Eating in Public Hi-5 recycle bins in the park.

We hope you can join us for the next clean-up in March 2011.

Check out more photos on our facebook page.

 

A deep MAHALO to all the volunteers!

 

Our next meeting will be a New Year's Pau Hana on Thurs. Jan 13th. Details TBA.
