Hawaii

State Coordinator

Eunice Ko

        Welcome to the Hawaii Chapter of the Sierra Student Coalition! Hawaii joined the SSC only three years ago, so we're a very new branch of the national network. Nevertheless, we will still have an awesome year! My name is Eunice and I am the new state coordinator. I will try to post upcoming events and relevant links on this page as a resource for anyone (not just SSC members) interested in actively preserving Hawaiiís unique environment.

Bottle Bill! Bottle Bill! Bottle Bill!
           Ever wonder what those 5 cent signs mean on your beverage bottles? Wonder no more! Hawaii has finally joined the states that enforce Bottle Bills. (Three cheers! Hip Hip Hooray! X2) Starting January 15, 2005, you can recycle your bottles and get (a part of) your money back! I want to jump start bottle recycling systems in schools all across Hawaii, but I canít do it without your help. My plan so far is to contact agencies that will benefit from cleaner streets (such as the tourism industry) and elicit their help. I will be deeply grateful if anyone has any suggestions or comments and especially if your school is interested. Again, my email is eunice.ko@ssc.org.
