In the heart of innovation, Silicon Valley faces an unprecedented challenge – a Trash Crisis escalating at an alarming rate. Overflowing landfills are nearing their brim, with over 20 million tons of waste generated annually, pushing facilities to over 85% of their capacity As the fight against waste continues, the region grapples with a single-use plastic epidemic, producing a staggering 1.5 million tons of these environmental hazards each year. But hope is not lost. Together, we can turn the tide. With a current recycling rate of just 40%, there's immense room for improvement and innovation. It’s time for change, Silicon Valley. Let's rethink, reduce, and recycle for a sustainable future.
"I serve the environment; that is who we serve."
From performing at Coachella to launching “The Trash Punx,” Justin Imamura, this punk rock Eagle Scout has wildlife. Believe it or not, he started his working career as a costumed character in a local theme park. You'll have to ask him personally what characters he performed as! Drumming is also one of his passions, and he continues performing across the Country when he's not running The Trash Punx. He serves as a Cubmaster for a local Cub Scout Pack during his time off. In 2017, he started his non-profit, “The Trash Punx,” which goes around the Bay Area to educate kids and adults on how to recycle correctly, hosts trash cleanup events, and has now expanded to Kenya as of 2023 to clean a community impacted by trash. Imamura is an open book that loves connecting, learning, listening, and empowering others to do great things for the community and environment!
