For our Mālama Honua Science, taught by Mr. Blake, we were assigned to figure out a way to make our Kamehameha School a more sustainable environment. Our group's project idea to help make our Kamehameha Schools Kapālama a more sustainable environment is to reduce and minimize the paper and plastic waste at ʻAkahi (our school cafeteria). We choose to do this because we all agreed that we can blatantly see the reoccurring paper and plastic waste during both lunch periods. We also agreed that the FLIK staff, teachers, and students were aware of the problem but didn't really care about it because they weren't knowladgeable of the detrimental effect and affects that it has on our ʻāina. Our solution to solve this problem is to promote and encourage students to bring in their own reusable Tupperware and utensils to eat with. We hope that this will minimize the amount of waste that our school produces because it will decrease the amount of students that are eating and drinking with the paper plates, plastic utensils, and paper cups. Some other problems that we hope to solve from tackling this problem is to reduce our schools expenses, reduce the amount of waste our school produces, and overall reduce the pollution that come from plastic and paper items. When the class of 2018 seniors and 2019 juniors were underclassmen lunch was ran differently. We used to eat and drinks our meals with plastic trays, porcelain plates, porcelain bowls, silverware, and reusable plastic cups that were constantly washed everyday. The reason why FLIK tossed these outs is because the conveyer belt that directed the dirty dishes would get stuck around a sharp bend, which led the conveyer belt to constantly break. There were also complaints from the students and faculty because sometimes the bowls would have left over food stuck to them, the plates would have puddles of water floating in it, the cups would be cracked causing the leakage of water, and the utensils would either be broken or bent out of shape. We mention this because even though this sounded bad it was a positive step for helping our Kamehameha Schools Kapālama campus become a sustainable environment.
