I live along the Aina Haina canal. Every day I look at the canal and see trash everywhere. This is very problematic because the canal leads straight to the ocean. This means all of this trash that is in the canal gets pushed straight to the ocean.

It shows because the place where the ocean and canal meet is very disgusting. The Aina Haina canal is not a trash can; if you are currently dumping trash into the Aina Haina canal, please stop. We only have one Earth; let’s not pollute it.
