Hawaiian Electric employees and their ohana volunteer to clean up and take care of Kamilo Beach, also known as "Plastic Beach," located in Kau on Hawaii Island. Large amounts of plastic pollution and marine debris ranging from microplastics to massive piles of plastic waste, rope, net, and fishing gear accumulate at Kamilo Beach. This pollution is detrimental to the environment, contaminating coastal waters and harming Hawaii’s wildlife.
