Lao Lao Bay Intern Planting Event

Last week, I was able to take part of a planting event up in Lao Lao Bay, along with interns from the different environmental agencies such as Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW), Coastal Resource Management (CRM), and the Division of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The purpose of the plants is to help prevent soil erosion and runoff of the different sediments that flow into Lao Lao bay, which end up killing our corals. Here are some pictures! It was an uphill hike on a hot day, but it was well worth the trip!

ILLEGAL DUMPING

There are tons of garbage that end up in our landfills, but not all garbage meets the same fate.  A lot of trash find their way into our jungles, beaches, and parks.  Why can't people take it to the transfer station or the landfill?  What are our government and environmental agencies doing about it?
