End World Contamination

 

RVA engages each year in clean-ups and recycling actions to protect the environment.

Several events and actions have been carried out such as the “Let’s Talk Green” events, beach and river cleanups, a bigger “Trash March” and a cleanup competition among Eight North Leeward Schools.

Every time RVA makes a community action, the media is invited to document and bring it to the public.
