Aloha, My name is Kalā Burnett me and my group members did a beach clean up with an organization called Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii. This project has helped me learn how to to a global citizen by making a change in my community and inspiring others to do so as well. Our work connects us to things we learned about in world history because in world history we learned about some great leaders and people doing all they can to make a difference for themselves and for the people around them. Our project does the same as in we are trying to make a difference in our community and for the creatures in the ocean. Many patterns i saw in our group was perseverance because with all the humps that we went through we still pushed past them to complete our project in the best way we can. In the beginning i thought this project was going to be easier even though it was pretty simple just the planning stage was the hard part. Before I thought ok all we need to do is a beach clean up so easy, all of us just got to get together one day and walk the beach. Then I figured out we needed to team up with an organization and needed to make adjustments to fit our schedule around their set dates that they have already. We were able to make the adjustments and when we also found out we weren’t going to do a beach clean up rather package the trash that has already been picked up and help package them so they can transfer it to a waste facility. In the end this project looked pretty straightforward but did need to make some adjustments. For us the only thing we could’ve done differently when we did our planning stage was know we were going to tag along with our organization on their own event instead of us having to plan and bring everything. That didn’t mean much but it did stall us on what to do for a little while. Other then that with all the time you have gave us we weren’t rushed and made sure everything was perfect.

Pictures of our project that we are still currently working on. Slides are made to show what we did and explain why this project relates to pono leadership.
We are now putting together a slide show to show what we did during our activity. We got together all the pictures that we took and is getting some time lapse video that was taken by the crew at the site. We are also trying to get any other possible pictures that they might have that can contribute to our slide show. This clean up was a great experience and we hope to show the impact of what we did throughout our slide show.
Our beach clean up went well. We didn't actually clean up the beach but we help put all the trash into big bins for them to transfer to a waste facility. There was about 150 polyester bags that can hold up to 100 lbs. All we tried to fit into the bin but we weren't successful since there was so much. Luckily he had another container going to be brought to the site the next couple of days. I think we were able to fit at least 75 bags into the container.
We are still on time and plan to complete our cleaning this Saturday the 28th. We plan to volunteer for sustainable coast lines Hawaii this Saturday to help clean up at turtle bay resort. If anyone else would like to join us and help just come out, you can find updates at sustainablecoastlineshawaii.org
We have slit changes to our project. Instead of us having our own beach clean up as our own group we will be joining one of sustainable coastlines Hawaii. Our date has shifted from the 21st to the 28th and instead of being held at kailua it will be at turtle bay resort. So instead of us collecting our findings and having to report it to the organization another time everything will happen in that one day since our organization is the one hosting everyone.
Our plan for our project is a beach clean up. The organization that we teamed up with is sustainable coastlines Hawaii. As a group we plan to clean up Kailua beach park and report our findings to our organization so they can report how much trash their is in the ocean and on our beaches. The date we plan to do this is January 21st. Hope everyone can come out to help bring beauty back to our beaches.
