Mai ho‘omāuna i ka ‘ai
o huli mai auane‘i o Hāloa e nānā.
Do not be wasteful of food lest Haloa turn around and stare at
you.

Early Hawaiians recycled
most everything.

In early Hawai‘i, people did not have to worry
about plastic bags, glass bottles, or disposable
diapers.
Recycling was a common form of

“Sanitary regulations imposed by kapu

wastes” (Mitchell, 1992).

But modern technology
has changed the way we use products today.

Waste-to-energy plants turn garbage into energy, which
supplies power to our homes.
The H-Power plant on O‘ahu processes over 2,000 tons of garbage a day!

In the U.S., each person produces about 4.5 pounds of rubbish a day!
That’s a lot of garbage!

What would happen if we were to reduce the amount of waste we generate daily?
