Hawai'i First Trash Water Wheel
Published on by Kim van Arkel, Scientific Advisor in Education
Less than one week after Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i launched their Honolulu Trash Water Wheel campaign, 131 people have helped to reach their first goal !
Here is the direct video link : https://vimeo.com/173513857
This Trash Water Wheel technology is a water and solar-powered device in Baltimore's inner harbor that has removed 420 tons of waste over the past 2 years.
In Hawaii, it aims to prevent trash making its way to the Pacific by intercepting debris into the chronically polluted Ala Wai Canal.
Congratulation Sustainable Coastlines Hawai'i,Surfrider Foundation and 808Cleanups for your efforts to protect Hawai'is coastlines !
We hope you will be able to implement this solution technology soon in Ala Wai Canal !
