Want to take a giant step to #ProtectOurWater? Install a pervious walkway or driveway on your property! This decreases the number of paved surfaces and limits the flow of water, allowing water to infiltrate into the ground. • • • • • #GiantStep #PerviousSurface #Walkway #Driveway #Home #HomeProperty #Sustaiability #GreenInfrastrcture #Ecofriendly #StormWater #StormWaterRunoff #Runoff #Pollution #ProtectOurWater #MalamaIKaWai #StormWaterHawaii #TrashFreeHawaii

Hawaii’s rainy season spans through March. You can help #ProtectOurWater by sweeping your driveway of any dust or debris to prevent pollutants from being washed straight into the storm drains and ultimately the ocean. • • • • • #RainySeason #RainTip #StormWater #Rain #Runoff #RainRunoff #SweepDriveway #Driveway #HomeCleaning #Pollution #Pollutants #ProtectOurWater #MalamaIKaWai #StormWaterHawaii #TrashFreeHawaii

Over the last few years, Hawaii has made great strides in reducing its use of plastic bags. We’re now moving towards eliminating single-use plastic, the leading cause of pollution world-wide. Here are a few easy ways to reduce or even eliminate single-use plastics from your daily life and help keep Hawaii trash free.

Take a big step to protect our water by connecting a rain barrel to capture rain water that drains from your roof. This decreases the chance of runoff transporting pollutants by rainwater into the nearest storm drain inlet. We’re in the middle of the rainy season, which means it’s the perfect time to take this step to #ProtectOurWater. • • • • • #BigStep #RainBarrel #RainySeason #Rain #Rainwater #RainRunoff #HomeRunoff #Runoff #StormWater #StormWaterRunoff #StormDrain #MalamaIKaWai #StormWaterHawaii #TrashFreeHawaii
