Featured Project

FlushAware App Development

Do you know what happens to the water that goes down the toilet and drain?

FlushAware.com is an online education system that teaches Maui Island users the treatment level & destination of their flush, and provides actions for activism & improving life downstream. FlushAware.com is a web based demonstrator for a standalone mobile app coming in 2024.

We are working to expand of FlushAware.com to Hawaiian neighbor islands, starting with Oahu in 2023.

Check out the FlushAware downstream species gallery to see over 200 high resolution images of Hawaii marine life from marine life photographer Keoki Stender @keokistender
