ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Focus is on recycling, 'Opalavision'

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Honolulu's curbside recycling program, alongside the city's interactive show "Opalavision," about recycling and waste management programs, is being showcased in a display touting public libraries.

Host libraries are offering a selection of recycling and garbage-related books for loan, as well as information about various green programs, ranging from do-it-yourself recycled crafts workshops to storytelling and "garbology" talks. This month, the display is at Kapolei Public Library, 1020 Manawai St. For library information, call 693-7050. By May, the city's curbside recycling program will be available to 160,000 homes across the island. For more details, call 768-3200 or visit www.opala.org.
