We want to share a very important initiative for our island, called Kiawah Goes Green. This initiative focuses on our island and the little steps we all can take to protect what we love so much on this island in the best way possible.
This is a rather “down-to-earth” and pragmatic initiative which is based on mostly three pillars:
1. Our mission is to focus on environmental stewardship, sustainability and advancement of eco-friendly public and private practices across the island while remaining fiscally responsible and avoid harm to the operational efficiency of the services we receive.
2. Through our work, we focus on the step-by-step elimination of harmful or inefficient materials, properly separated collection of trash and waste across the island and more eco-friendly in our operations.
3. Our team members of the initiative come from all our relevant stakeholders – the Town Council and Town Departments, KICA, the Conservancy, the Golf Resort, the Kiawah Island Club, Freshfields, Andell West or Riverstone, … and a great group of engaged community members.
