Save Kauai brings together current information about Kauai and web-based tools that allow you to take action. If we want to affect the future of Kauai in a pono way we must organize and begin implementing solutions, not just fighting the problems.

What: Volunteer for Resource Stream Diversion
Why: Because you care!
Some of you volunteered for Taste of Hawaii’s diversion … and thank you! We learned a lot from that event (including that we should follow the truck ;0) … and it is even MORE important that this event is covered productively so that the first food waste permit for Kauai does not go to waste!
For newcomers, this is what we are looking for. Rather than having a singular waste bin that everyone throws all trash into – and having it dumped at the landfill. We will have 3 bins at each collection station, labeled “Compostables”, “Recyclables” and “Waste”. Volunteers are needed to ‘supervise’ the disposal of waste to ensure that the streams are NOT contaminated and to divert as much as possible from the “Waste” cans. The invitees from this event will be a different crowd from Taste of Hawaii, and perhaps even more in need of the incredible interactive education we were able to provide at the last event.
This event is extremely family oriented (water slides for kids, etc). So feel free to bring your whole family while you donate a few hours of your time to protect our green `aina and educate fellow residents about the proper waste disposal. (Which really means that you will simply point to the proper bin for whatever they are disposing.) The compostables (plates, cups and cutlery) WILL BE taken to Kauai Nursery & Landscaping to be composted rather than landfilled. We will also divert cardboard, and the Junior YBA will be collecting all HI5’s to be recycled.
We will be working in shifts: I need 2 people to volunteer for 7/8am – 10am, hopefully these same 2 can stay for the 10a - 1pm shift.
Need volunteers for 10am -1pm shift.
Need volunteers for 1pm – 4pm shift.
Need 3 volunteers for cleanup from 4pm – 6pm.
Need a couple volunteers to man our booth and educate the public!
