The Guam Environmental Protection Agency says last week's regional conference has helped lauch a new recycling initiative.
The island hosted the Pacific Islands Environment Conference, attended by all US affiliates and territories in the Pacific.
The Guam EPA chief information officer, Michael Mann, says a great deal of discussion was held regarding global warming, with 'The Great Warming' documentary being premiered.
Mr Mann says locally the conference helped initiate other work.
"There has been a good bit of discussion happening over the past few years and at this point we have finally reached a next step. We have a strong local business partner here who will be helping us to get recycling efforts into the school system and then expanding into some neighbouring islands as well."
