First they kicked cigarette butts off of Hekili Street Kailua Town through 
their innovative and whimsical “Plant Your Butts Here” campaign and now 
they have  kicked food waste out of the landfill.

Funded by a grant from Youth Service of Hawaii in 2010, the Huakailani girls 
actively worked to find a solution reducing the large amount of cigarette 
butt litter found on their quarterly Adopt -A Block Neighborhood Clean-Up 
Days.

Since the start of their campaign, the Huakailani girls have decorated over 
30 whimsical planters filled with sand to encourage people to extinguish 
their cigarette in the planters and not on the ground. Cigarette butt litter 
leaches toxins into the water sources and endangers the health of native 
wildlife.
