A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION: Our vision is to enjoy a world with clean and safe beaches, hiking trails, and natural spaces without encountering any evidence of human littering or graffiti tags on any natural surfaces. We envision a society that cleans and maintains the land and sea so that reactive cleanups become obsolete, allowing us to focus on long-term environmental restoration and education.
GO GREEN!
So we decided that the issue that we will be addressing is pollution in North and South America, the Caribbean, and Oceania. We did some research on the countries that we picked from our leadership project and how pollution has a major impact on them as well as Hawaiʻi. In our group we have Noelle Sua-Godinet, her country that she did her research on was Brazil. Noelle feels (NOELLE FILL THIS IN). Secondly, we have Gannon Chinen, the country he did his research on was Jamaica. Gannon feels, "I feel that the not just the country of brazil, but the region that Jamaica is located in (Caribbean and Oceania) is very polluted and if can make any change possible then we are willing to get our hands dirty and help." Next, we have Elijah Akiona, the country that Elijah did his research on is Mexico. Elijah feels, (ELIJAH AKIONA FILL THIS IN). Also, we have Liam Wilson, he chose to do his country research on is (LIAM FILL IN THIS IN). Liam feels, (LIAM FILL THIS IN). Lastly, we have Elijah Kamalani, Elijah chose to do his project on Colombia. Elijah feels, (ELIJAH K. FILL THIS IN). We have decided to go through a non-profit organization so we can help clean the beach of Mokuleia. The organization that we chose to help volunteer at was 808cleanups. A little bit about 808clean ups is that, 808 Cleanups is a 501(c)3 environmental nonprofit organization committed to restoring Hawaiiʻs natural beauty by empowering volunteers to conduct decentralized cleanups from mauka to makai, responding to littering and vandalism of Hawaiiʻs natual spaces, saving Hawaiiʻs indigenous ecosystem through education, and building sustainable solutions with community partners.
