Hawaii
Wildlife Fund's efforts help turn nets into energy
April 2013 - A recent
CNN news video called
"Transforming discarded nets into energy," featured Hawaii Wildlife
Fund's Megan Lamson and her volunteers who, over the past year
alone, have cleaned more than 12 tons of marine debris from a beach
on Hawaii Island through HWF's
Hawaii Island Marine Debris Removal
Project.
Most of the large bundles
of net, many weighing well over 1,000 pounds, are removed with
special equipment and shipped to Honolulu where it is used to generate
electricity in a trash-to-energy conversion plant (H-Power).
Volunteers are a critical part of this shoreline effort and theyve
come from all over the island, the state, the world to
participate.
