American Samoa 350 Environmental Club hosted the Pacific Warriors Day of Action yesterday at Utulei Beach Park. Over 200 young people participated including Boy Scouts, JROTC units, volleyball teams and students from Fagaitua, Samoana, Tafuna and Leone High Schools.
The day opened with a volleyball tournament and a presentation from ASCC's Community Natural Resources associate director, Aufa’i Apulu Ropeti Areta of 100 trees to the Boy Scouts. Boy Scout troops will be planting in coastal areas. Art students created posters and signs depicting ways to stem global warming while dance groups created warrior routines fending off climate change.
