An island-led movement for sustainability
Guam Green Growth is a public-private partnership that develops tangible solutions to sustainability challenges and contributes to a green economy for the island region. In September 2019, Governor Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero and Lt. Governor Joshua F. Tenorio promulgated Executive Order 2019-23, creating an 80-member Working Group of government, academia, private sector, non-profit, and youth partners to transition Guam toward a sustainable future. The executive order assigned the facilitation of the Working Group to the University of Guam Center for Island Sustainability.
Sustainable Storm Clean Up Tips
Now that Super Typhoon Champi has passed, it’s time to clear the debris—sustainably and safely! 🌀✨
Swipe through to check out a few quick storm cleanup practices:
1️⃣ Keep hazardous oils away from soil and groundwater.
Remember, no oil in the soil! Don’t throw dangerouse materials or oils in the dump or on the ground, it could contaminate our groundwater!
2️⃣ Compost organic green waste and spoiled food to save landfill space. Try to compost what you can. Composting old food, or green materials can keep more trash out of our landfill.
3️⃣ Stay alert for sharp objects and hidden hazards in debris piles. Watch out for hidden safety hazards. Rusty nails, metal edges, glass, and more could be hiding under or in debris piles. Keep an eye out and stay safe!
Together, we build a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable island!
