Aloha 'Aina, Imua Kakou!
The following appeared in TGI opinion page 8/18 but highlights the effectiveness of grassroots volunteerism on Kaua`i.

Surfrider volunteers came through
A great big mahalo to Sheri Saari and the volunteers of the Surfrider Foundation for the clean-up of the forested area adjacent to Lumaha’i Beach.
During a hike through the area earlier this year, I was saddened to see huge amounts of rubbish all over the wooded area left there by campers and party-goers.
After making several inquiries about beach maintenance with local county agencies, my concern was referred to the Surfrider Foundation by Thomas Noyes of The Friends of Kamalani and Lydgate Park.
Surfrider volunteers came through. They collected and hauled away truckloads of rubbish from the area. The efforts of these volunteer organizations help keep Kaua‘i the Garden Island paradise that it is.
