Waste Management - "Perspectives" eNewsletter

Waste Management of Hawaii recently announced the launch of Thinkgreen.com, an interactive Web site that supports Waste Management of Hawaii’s ongoing efforts to educate the public about what happens to its opala (trash). The project is designed to inform the public of things they should know, but are probably not aware of regarding the business of managing the 10 pounds of waste the average Hawaii resident generates each day. The interactive site, which tells the story of rubbish from the curbside onward, highlights how advanced technologies are recovering resources and protecting our aina (land).

Thinkgreen.com enables users to explore the ways Waste Management of Hawaii and its continental neighbors generate renewable energy, boost recycling, and protect the environment. Visitors can learn about the process of collecting landfill gas to generate renewable energy, walk though a waste-to-energy facility, and learn more about recycling. The Web site also shows visitors how landfills safely manage waste and can benefit communities by serving as wildlife habitats and recreational spaces.
