SCH’s office is located in Kaimuki and what better way to care for our neighborhood than to help keep it clean! The Kaimuki Festival and will also be more than a cleanup. It will be a day of fun, entertainment, activities, education, and more. You may be thinking, “Kaimuki isn’t a beach, why are we cleaning it?” That’s because what happens upstream impacts the ocean downstream. If we keep upstream areas like Kaimuki clean, it can help prevent debris from arriving on our coastlines in the first place.
SCH’s final large-scale cleanup will take place up north! Large quantities of marine debris often wash-up on O'ahu’s north shore due to ocean currents and wind patterns. Let’s finish the year strong and help this vulnerable area!
SCH programs are aligned with two organizational pillars: Inspiration and Action. We accomplish their mission by organizing fun and engaging large-scale community beach cleanups & restoration events, sharing knowledge through a robust educational program, promoting awareness and action through public outreach campaigns, engaging business leadership in hands-on solutions through corporate cleanups, providing the tools needed for others to host their own cleanups, and offering sustainability consulting and waste diversion services at events.
After working with the SCH crew, we know that you will never look at plastic the same. Learn more about our programs and how you can get involved.
We collaborated with an amazing community to host our cleanup festival at Waimānalo Beach Park, on the east side of O'ahu, with a group of 2100+ volunteers to mālama 'āina. The volunteers removed an estimated 2500 lbs of debris, most of which was smaller fragments of plastic and large rusty metal pieces. Afterwards, we got to take a deeper dive with volunteers inside the festival where we had live music, games, workshops, partner booths, sustainably-sourced food, and more. We hope volunteers walked away inspired and empowered with some tools and knowledge to make proactive changes in their everyday lives to prevent plastic pollution at the source.
