Island Resilience and Garbage Galore with Henry Gabriel

Have you ever wondered where our trash goes after the dump trucks make their rounds? In this episode, we are thrilled to have Henry Gabriel, a veteran solid waste manager, give us a Trash 101 lesson on everything that happens to the waste in our grey, blue and green bins. It is clear from his stories that he loves his job and is sharing his gift with Hawaiʻi - helping us better manage our garbage. Henry shares about the four R's: reduce, reuse, recycle and repair and how leaning in to the resourcefulness of previous generations can help us build resilience today. We hope you enjoy Henryʻs engaging stories and his tips on how share aloha with our island home in tangible ways, beginning with our very own trash bins.
