Great American Cleanup Maui County part 2
April 2, 2016 @ 7:00 am - April 15, 2016 @ 11:59 pm
Mālama Maui Nui’s goal for this year’s local Great American Cleanup campaign (March 19- April 30) is to inspire and empower individuals and community groups to remove litter and debris from shorelines, waterways, roads, and other public spaces.
Great American Cleanup volunteers are motivated by the notion that litter-free places allow for an ecosystem’s natural beauty to shine. Native species of plants and animals can thrive in healthy habitats, and people can experience first-hand the richness of Hawai‘i’s pristine environment.
It is essential to engage the people who live in each community within Maui County to take the lead on how to care for the land where they live, work, and play. The residents of each area know it best, and they have the potential to create the greatest impact on their community’s environmental health, which directly influences our overall quality of life.
This year’s theme, “Clean Your Block Party”, emphasizes the power of the collaborative effort, and how a group of individuals—of any age, background, or ability—can have a positive impact by taking action wherever they see a need.
Join us March 19 for the GAC Kickoff, and be inspired to organize a Great American Cleanup of your own! Check out the GAC Coordinator Toolkit at MalamaMauiNui.org, with best practices and activity ideas designed to help anyone conduct a Great American Cleanup event in their neighborhood.
