Celebrating Earth Day on Oahu: Small Acts, Big Impact

April 17, 2024

Earth Day is a time to reflect on our islandʻs beauty and the importance of preserving it for future generations. If you’re staying at the Shoreline Hotel on Oahu, there are many ways you can participate in Earth Day and support sustainable practices during your visit. Here are some ideas to get you started:

 

Beach Cleanups

Join a local beach cleanup event or organize your own with fellow guests. Keeping Oahu’s beaches clean helps protect marine life and preserves the natural beauty of the island. Visit Hele Mua for upcoming beach clean ups, open to the Public.

Waikiki Beach Cleanup

 

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

At the Shoreline Hotel Waikiki, we offer a complimentary carbonation station, featuring a SodaStream machine, as part of our commitment to sustainability and the reduce, reuse, recycle ethos. Guests can enjoy creating their own fizzy beverages using the carbonation station, helping to reduce single-use plastic waste while staying refreshed.

Support Local

Explore Oahu’s farmers’ markets and local shops to support sustainable, locally sourced products. This reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods long distances.
