Artist's Statement:

“ Hawai'i residents generate an whopping average of 6.2 pounds of 'opala (trash) daily. That's 41% more than the national average (4.4 pounds). This wastefulness is compounded by lack of recycling, with more than 2/3 of our waste being landfilled or incinerated. Honolulu is the largest city in the nation without a curbside recycling program. Oahu's main landfill, Waimanalo Gulch, will be closed by May 2008. The landfill may then move someplace else. Perhaps to your community.”
