Aloha! Thank you for taking the pledge to help keep Hawaii’s storm drains clean and clear!
Hawaii’s storm drain system serves an important role in our ecosystem. It allows rainwater to flow into the ocean to prevent flooding within the streets and inhabited areas.
It’s also a sensitive system because the drains lead directly to the ocean without treatment – taking whatever is in the storm drains straight to our island’s waters.
Unfortunately, some people continue to dump chemicals, trash, and even green waste into Hawaii’s storm drain systems. This is where you come in! We need your help to spread the word about the importance of preventing pollutants from going down our storm drains.
