Earth-Friendly Schools Hawai`i

 In 2007 a partnership was formed between Performing and Fine Artists for World Peace and Recycle Hawai`i to promote Earth-Friendly Schools Hawai`i. The goal of this program is to motivate young people to get involved in a structured activity that recognizes their work at school and in their community. The EFSH program specifically promotes service-learning projects and environmental education.
