The Waiakea High School Interact Club and Rotary Club of Hilo members took part in the annual international “Get the Drift and Bag It” marine debris and shoreline cleanup campaign Sept. 20.
“This year was great that we collected less than previous years, but still, what we collected is still not acceptable to our environment,” said Ed Hara from the Rotary Club of Hilo and advisor to the Interact Club. “Everyone in our community must be vigilant and keep our aina clean, not just our shoreline.”
Additional cleanup areas are still available and the cleanup campaign goes to the end of October.
