     WHEREAS, in 2012, BRIAN MCCAFFERTY worked with the Hawaii State Department of Transportation, Transportation Security Administration (at Kahului Airport), and the hotel industry to start the Visitor Industry Recycling Program, which with the help of Teens On Call, has generated $250,000 in cash and kept two million pounds of reusable/recyclable items out of the landfills to date; and
