ecological awareness

We coordinate waste reduction and education programs, build networks of collaboration across sectors, and host coastal cleanup events.
Our Programs
Get involved
We care for the
resources that
sustain life
Water
When we manage solid waste responsibly we take care of all aquatic ecosystems, and of the vital resource that all life depends on- water.
Air
Reducing the amount of waste we generate contributes to better air quality since landfills are a source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Soil
By preserving soil quality via proper waste management we are caring for the basis of our food chain.
Food
The quality of the food that we eat depends on clean water, air, and soils. What we put into these natural resources ends up in the food chain, and eventually in our bodies.
What We Value
Biophilia - "love for life"
Direct felt experience in nature encourages an emotional connection with it, from which ecological responsibility flourishes.
Responsibility
From corporations to individuals, we are all responsible for the ways our actions affect our social and natural environments.
Education
Awareness and knowledge are the foundations to act on behalf of our communities and environment.
Inclusivity
We believe in working together to identify strategies that benefit all members of the community, regardless of age, gender, or racial identities.
Civic Engagement
Aware and committed citizens have the power to transform a problem into a beneficial opportunity.
Ecological Awareness
Understanding the interdependence between social and natural ecosystems is critical for the sustainability of human life on Earth.

VOLUNTEERKeeping land clean and beautiful is a noble cause in an of itself. In addition, I believe creating avenues for ecological awareness and preservation methods are critical for an island with an economy heavily reliant on tourism.
