of thriving local economies. The 2010 HonuGuide has built on the success of the 2009 edition
by adding more resources, more ideas, and more community coupons.

But the HonuGuide is much more than just another coupon book. It's a tool for change. The
HonuGuide makes it easy to choose local and green business that value a sustaianble future
for Hawaii. HonuGuide coupons encourage us to shop with a conscience, and our dollars
incentivize businesses to choose more sustainable business practices, goods and services.
The 2010 HonuGuide is also full of information and resources that many local leaders have
taken the time to share with our island community. Take their words to heart and then act on
them. You will realize that island sustainability goes beyond putting solar panels on your roof or
recycling your trash (although both of those are good things).
True sustainability comes about by reframing our moral compass so that it aligns with ideas and
actions that produce financial, spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical prosperity, for you,
your buisness, your community, all of Hawaii, and the world.
You really are a part of the solution and my prayer is that the HonuGuide helps you on your
journey.

COVER ARTIST: SOLOMON ENOS
Born and raised in Makaha on the west coast of O´ahu, Solomon Enos grew up in a very creative and nurturing
environment. He spent much of his time drawing and making things in his grandfather’s workshop, or reading books
from the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in his home. Solomon also went with his father, Eric Enos, on Saturday morn-
ings to the back of Wai´anae Valley to work in the kalo fields. Solomon learned about who he is as a native Hawaiian
during the Hawaiian Renaissance, and all of those experiences are expressed through his artwork today.
Solomon’s first commission was as a 6th grader at Makaha Elementary School for a 5th grade curriculum project.
After that, he continued to do small commissions, and had his first exhibit at a Wai´anae community festival when
he was 21. In 2001, Solomon received his first opportunity to do book illustration for a project with authors Kimo
Armitage and Tutu Hale. He has gone on to illustrate four more books, most prominently Awaiaulu Press’ translation
of the Hi´iakaikapoliopele epic, for which Solomon won a Ka Palapala Po´okela Award. He has also won a Na Hoku
Hanohano Award for the cover art he created for Hapa’s Maui CD. Solomon has created over a dozen murals from
Makaha to Waikiki, and has lead twice as many school and community art projects, including a 4x24 foot mural at
Kamakau Charter School’s new campus in the back of Ha´iku.
Other than a handful of art classes at Kapiolani Community College, Solomon has no formal training. His main
concern is the perfect execution of an idea, and as a result, Solomon has developed several styles and works in
many different media. Solomon currently resides in Nu`uanu with his family. Solomon draws much of his inspiration
from both his ´ohana and the land around him, as he hopes to translate the deeper meanings of his culture to the
world.

Prosperity
by PonoShim
I wish for you a life that is based
upon the ahupua’a, but I don’t wish
for you a life that is sustainable.
Is this a cruel statement or is it a
statement of great aloha? Please
allow me to explain: I was watch-
ing a woman pushing 3 shopping
carts in downtown Honolulu with
all of her earthly treasures. She
was sustaining herself. Is that what
sustainability is when we speak of it
as a preferred model for the future?
I don’t think so - and the problem
isn’t in the term, the problem lies in
the interpretation.

ALOHA is an overarching principle.

many meanings. It can be a noun,

respect, love and reciprocity, and
not a contrived series of motions
or expressions that have been re-
hearsed and perfected for a com-
mercial expectation. Aloha is to be
in the presence of life, to share the
essence of one’s being with open-

a way of life. It is a commitment to
being real. It is a commitment to ac-

If aloha is the overarching prin-

Investing In Sustainability to
Energize Hawaii's
Economy
by RobinCampaniano & KyleDatta
Throughout Hawaii, efforts to
build a sustainable future are
on the rise, thanks to increased
awareness and education among
Hawaii’s businesses, communities
and families that real sustainability
is physical, spiritual, financial, and
environmental prosperity.
Across our state, companies and
individuals are coming up with in-
novative ways to change how we
power our homes, how we feed
our families, and how to reduce our
waste. These efforts are rooted in
the local wisdom that a healthy en-
vironment and a healthy economy
go hand in hand.
In this spirit, the Ulupono Initia-
tive was created – a Hawaii-based,
Hawaii-led and Hawaii-focused so-

cial investment and philanthropic
organization that supports the work
done by local businesses and or-
ganizations aimed at improving our
quality of life. Acting as a catalyst
for economic and environmental
change, Ulupono Initiative hopes
that by supporting sustainable ini-
tiatives, it can further improve and
enrich the lives of Hawaii’s people.
As an organization that is a hybrid
of both for-profit and non-profit phil-
anthropic entities, we believe that
business, the non-profit sector, and
small-scale enterprises are all criti-
cal enablers of change. We invest
across boundaries – for-profit or
non-profit, big or small, throughout
the state.

Healing or Stealing?
by PaulHawken
This planet came with a set of
instructions, but we seem to have
misplaced them. Important rules
like: don’t poison the water, soil,
or air; don’t let the earth get over-
crowded; and don’t touch the ther-
mostat, have been broken. Buck-
minster Fuller said that ‘spaceship
earth’ was so ingeniously designed
that no one has a clue that we are
on one, flying through the universe
at a million miles per hour, with no
need for seatbelts, lots of room in
coach, and really good food — but
all that is changing.
When asked if I am optimistic or
pessimistic about the future, my
answer is always the same: If you
look at the science about what is
happening on earth and aren’t pes-
013 honuguide.com
simistic, you don’t understand the
data. But if you meet the people
who are working to restore this
earth and the lives of the poor, and
you aren’t optimistic, you haven’t
got a pulse. What I see everywhere
in the world are ordinary people
willing to confront despair, power,
and incalculable odds in order to
restore some semblance of grace,
justice, and beauty to this world.
No one knows how many groups
and organizations are working on
the most salient issues of our day:
climate change, poverty, deforesta-
tion, peace, water, hunger, conser-

vation, human rights, and more.
This is the largest movement the
world has ever seen. Rather than
control, it seeks connection. Rather
than dominance, it strives to dis-
perse concentrations of power. Its
clout resides in idea, not in force.
bio: Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, and
author.You can learn more at: www.paulhawken.com
Millions of people are working on
behalf of strangers, even if the
evening news is usually about the
death of strangers. This kindness
of strangers has religious, even
mythic origins, and very specific
eighteenth-century roots. Abolition-
ists were the first people to create
a national and global movement to
defend the rights of those they did
not know. Until that time, no group
had filed a grievance except on be-
half of itself.
For the first time in history a group
of people organized themselves to
help people they would never know,
from whom they would never re-
ceive direct or indirect benefit.
And today tens of millions of people
do this every day. It is called the
world of non-profits, civil society,
schools, social entrepreneurship,
non-governmental organizations,
and companies who place social
and environmental justice at the top
of their strategic goals. The scope
and scale of this effort is unparal-
leled in history.
We have an economy that tells us
that it is cheaper to destroy earth in
real time rather than renew, restore,
and sustain it. You can print money
to bail out a bank but you can’t print
life to bail out a planet. At present
we are stealing the future, selling it
in the present, and calling it gross
domestic product.
We can just as easily have an
economy that is based on heal-
ing the future instead of stealing
it. We can either create assets for
the future or take the assets of the
future. One is called restoration and
the other exploitation. And when-
ever we exploit the earth we exploit
people and cause untold suffering.
Working for the earth is not a way to
get rich, it is a way to be rich.

are globally aware of each other
and the multiple dangers that
threaten civilization has never hap-

EAT LOCAL
An eat local challenge is a great way to
learn about local food and agriculture,
while supporting local food producers. Start
by setting the amount of days you want to
eat only Hawaii made or grown foods. A one
day challenge can be just as rewarding as a
whole month or year. Be sure set your guid-
lines for the challenge - are you only eating
foods grown in Hawaii? Or perhaps you are
willing to consume foods not grown in Ha-
COMMUNITY GARDENS
If you don't have a yard, but want to grow
your own, we recommend utilizing com-
munity garden space. There are 10 com-
munity garden sites in the City's program
and for a small fee (like $10 a year) you can
be a productive owner of one.
TO APPLY:
1. Attend the meeting of the garden in which
you are interested.
2. Fill in the application at the meeting.
3. If there are no plots currently available,

GIVE: VOLUNTEER ON A FARM
Do you have a day or half a day free and
want to really get your hands dirty in sup-
port of local food? Volunteering on a local
farm is a fun learning and community building
opportunity. Not only do you get some time
away from the computer screen, but you also
connect with the Aina. Additionally, farmers
can really use the help as small (organic)
farming is labor intensive. So grab some
waii, but are processed on the islands? Also,
make sure to ask before you consume, be-
cause even "Made in Hawaii" products are
only required to be 51% local.
5 Reasons to Eat Local

HALEIWA FARMERS' MARKET
Located on the North Shore of Oahu,
Hawleiwa Farmers' Market (HFM) embraces
local agriculture, green technology, communi-
ty fund raising, recycling, education, and chil-
dren’s activities that encourage sustainability.
By providing a venue to sell local produce,
HFM begins to fulfill its vision of support-
ing local family farms and encouraging new
farmers. Over twenty local farmers gather
every Sunday (9am-1pm) to share with the
community their bounty and create important
relationships. And invite the community to
be socially and environmentally responsible
consumers.
Most food travels a minimum of 2,500
miles to get to Hawaii and is handled by
at least 10 facilitators before ending up in
your hands. HFM does not allow the resale
of mainland produce, so the buyer can be
certain that they are buying fresh, flavorful,
Hawaii-grown produce only.
For centuries farmers’ markets have been a
gathering place for community. Prior to big
agribusiness, people traded and purchased
their food directly from the farmers in town
centers. HFM believes in carrying on the so-
cial tradition of creating a place for community
to gather in a healthy vibrant atmosphere. By
providing a place with fun educational activi-
ties at the Keiki Korner every week, children
share time with local teachers and community
leaders and learn about sustainable living and

My backyard farming adventure
began slowly, a few years ago,
with some humble avocado pits.
I sprouted a few at a time, and to
my surprise they grew into plants
rather quickly. At that point in my
life I had successfully killed dozens
of orchids and other flowers and
was convinced that I did not inherit
my grandmother’s green thumb.
But I was encouraged by the suc-
cess of the avocados, so I planted
some papaya seeds and garlic that
I sprouted in the kitchen… The gar-
den quickly became my new obses-
sion.
Over the following months I began
till the soil
to dedicate more of my time to the
plants. I found a wooden book-
shelf that I converted into a garden
box, collected seeds from what-
ever the housemates were eat-
ing, and sprouted more avocados,
squash, papayas, tomatoes, sweet
potatoes, and lilikoi. I began to
understand the allure of seed cata-
logs and bought seeds and starter
plants from local stores and online
venues. I spent whole weekends
getting muddy and sweaty in the
yard and the garden began to look
amazing..!
Those first months were blissful – it
was the honeymoon phase of my
plant organic seeds
gardening endeavor. But then the
bugs came and the heavy winter
rains and wind and the days without
good sunshine. So I began talking
to people about growing food – ask-
ing neighbors and farmers at the
farmers market for advice, consult-
ing the Oahu Urban Garden Center
as well as various websites.
I learned that some things are really
difficult to grow well in Hawaii (red
cabbage, tomatoes, some flowering
herbs), and others grow extremely
well (sweet potatoes, lilikoi, leafy
greens, basil, kabocha pumpkins).
I also learned about natural pest
resistance (neem oil or chili water

for aphids and worms; crushed
eggshells or Sluggo for slugs; fenc-
ing to keep dogs or cats out) as
well as the importance of keep-
ing soil healthy and balanced with
compost, vermicast (worm poop),
mulch, and companion plants.
I grow the foods I like to eat and
those that grow well (including
lacinato kale, varieties of collards,
arugula, choi sum, some beans
and lettuce, and herbs like parsley
and cilantro). My perseverance
has paid off, resulting in a vibrant
and healthy collection of plants and

Learn to let go. A good percentage of
sprouts or plants just die, but by finding
a balance of varieties and number of

Add the dead plants (but not diseased

Taro and GMO
by ChantalPeterson
Taro (“kalo” in Hawaiian) is one of Ha-
waii’s traditional staple food crops and
is held sacred to the Hawaiian tradi-
tion. The taro plant is deeply connect-
ed to Hawaiian creation story in which
kalo sprung forth from the grave of
Ho´ohokukalani, the premature child,
of Papa Honomaku, (‘Mother Earth’)
and Wakea, (‘Father Sky’). They later
birthed a second child, Haloa, who was
fed by the sustenance of the kalo plant.
Thus, Kalo became the metaphorical
older sibling and the staple food crop for
the Hawaiian people.
Indigenous Hawaiian cultures relied
upon taro as primary form of suste-
nance and it is widely grown all over the
world today. Its starchy, root-like corm
is very nutritious and its leaves (called
lu'au) taste like spinach when cooked.
A favored way to eat the corm is to peel
it, scrape it, boil it, and pound it into the
purple, sticky substance called poi. Poi
is said to be better for you than wheat,
potatoes, rice, or any other starch peo-
ple rely on.
021 honuguide.com
Because of its strong cultural value and
nutritional benefit, the maintenance of
taro’s agricultural integrity as a sacred
plant is extremely important to Hawai-
ians and many others. In recent years,
controversy has arisen regarding the
future use and ownership of traditional
Hawaiian cultivars of taro. Through-
out the past few decades, major plant
breeding companies and research insti-
tutions have been studying, experiment-
ing with and modifying taro for industrial
cultivation and international export. The
following is a brief description of those
proceedings.

Development, colonization, increasing
population and climate change all have
put pressure on Hawaii’s cultivated and
natural ecosystems. Additionally, mod-
ern conventional farming methods have
drastically altered global farming prac-
tices and landscapes, affecting every
aspect of our food chain. In the 1960’s
the Green Revolution began, forever
changing global agriculture with the
implementation of industrial mechani-
zation, high dependence on pesticides/
herbicides and extensive irrigation sys-
tems. The most recent technological
revolution in agriculture is the so called
‘Gene Revolution’ which refers to the
manipulation of plants and animals at
the genetic level.
GMO is the acronym for Genetically
Modified Organism. Genetic modifica-
tion refers to the processes by which
DNA molecules from different sources
are combined into one molecule in or-
der to create a new set of genes. The
DNA is then transferred into an organ-
ism -generally in order to produce new
desirable traits. Currently, genes of
different species are being combined in
food crops at the molecular level with-
out knowledge of their effects on soils,
ecosystems, or human health – and in
many cases, without public approval or
knowledge.
In recent years GMO foods and technol-
ogies have become very controversial,
especially with regard to the cultural
rights of Indigenous Peoples to whom
these crops have different value and
use than of that of the capitalistic agri-
business model.
The American Academy of Environmen-
tal Medicine this year said that geneti-
cally modified foods are causally linked
to accelerated aging, dysfunctional
immune regulation, organ damage,
gastrointestinal distress, and immune
system damage. A study came out by
the Union of Concerned Scientists con-
firming that genetically modified crops,

organizations, and individuals (info@www.juliemitchell.com).
on average, reduce yield over time. A
USDA report from 2006 showed that
farmers don't actually increase income
from GMOs, but many actually lose in-
come. For the last several years, the
United States has spent $3-$5 billion
per year to prop up the prices of the GM
crops no one wants.
Many years ago, a decision was made
to allow Hawaii’s soils to become the
nursery for experimental GMO agri-
cultural crops because it is the most
isolated island chain in the world, and
has a year-round growing season. Be-
ginning in the mid-1990s with Governor
Cayetano, multinational agribusiness
corporations such as Monsanto, Dow,
Dupont/Pioneer and Syngenta were
incentivized to come and set up shop.
The Hawai‘i Legislature enacted laws
to financially assist and protect these
companies. These laws (Act 22l and
now Act 215) provide investment capi-
tal, give tax subsidies, tax credits for re-
search activities, exclude royalties from
gross income, and give tax exemptions
on stock options (Hawai’I SEED 2006).
Indeed, Hawaii has more experimental
field trials of genetic engineering than
any other state in the nation. However,
Hawaii also has the most anti-GMO bills
introduced into a legislature out of any-
where in the country.

Organic Farming: Strictly Hands-On
by JulieMitchell
What does the label “Organic” really mean? Not sure?
You’re not alone!
Since organic plants are grown without the use of synthetic
chemical herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers, many mecha-
nized tasks used by modern industrial farms must be done
by hand on an organic farm. From picking harmful bugs off
of countless leaves to hoeing weeds from row upon row of
vegetables, organic farming is intensely labor intensive.
Organic farming entails some basic practices, including:
•Plants should be grown from organic seeds (whenever pos-
sible) and be free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
•The land on which plants are grown should be contaminant-
free (for at least three years).
•Biological control techniques and botanical insecticides are
used instead of toxic products.
•Beneficial insects and companion planting are encouraged.
•On smaller farms, cultivation of plants is mostly manual… in
other words, by hand.
•Crop rotation, cover crops (green manure crops), and com-
post are often employed to promote soil productivity and re-
newal.
Hawaii Organic Farmers Association (HOFA) is a non-profit
organization whose mission is “To protect the life of the land
and the health of our communities through education about
organic land care practices.” Besides certification, HOFA
also offers organic method demonstrations and hands-on
workshops, a farm apprenticeship program an online mar-
ketplace and “Hawaii Organic Products Directory.”

waii, visit hawaiiorganic.org. call 877-ORG-ISLE.

PACIFIC BIODIESEL:
LOCAL, CLEAN FUEL

Pacific Biodiesel was launched in 1996 in
response to serious environmental and
health concerns surrounding unmanage-
able quantities of used cooking oil at the
Central Maui Landfill. Robert King, then
owner of a local diesel repair business that
maintained the landfill’s generators, proposed
converting the waste into biodiesel that would
fuel the generators. He turned his idea into
reality with Pacific Biodiesel’s original small-
scale plant at the Central Maui Landfill.
Thirteen years later, Pacific Biodiesel now

DEPENDABLE WATER
NOW & INTO THE FUTURE
by BoardofWaterSupply
With a little effort and some common
sense, everyone can be more efficient in
their water use. For example, fixing leaky
faucets or pipes around the house can save
150,000 gallons of water over the course of
the year. That’s enough to fill three backyard
swimming pools!
As stewards of this precious resource,
the BWS recognizes the key role it plays
in insuring a safe and dependable water
supply now and into the future. To accom-
plish this, the BWS has begun refocusing
on its core operations and the work it needs
to do to deliver safe, reliable water to its
customers every day. This effort includes
biodiesel annually, which is sold throughout
the state. The plants on Oahu and Maui also
recycle 13,000 tons of waste oil products per
year, helping to keep the islands’ landfills and
wastewater facilities cleaner. While the larg-
est Hawaii biodiesel consumer is the fleet
of the City & County of Honolulu, biodiesel
is also used in commercial tour boats, farm
equipment, generators and construction ve-
hicles, and is sold at six Oahu 76 Stations as
well as Paia Chevron on Maui.
Plans for Big Island Biodiesel are under-
way, and the new plant will utilize recently de-
veloped, zero-waste, super efficient technol-
ogy to process trap grease into high quality
fuel and locally grown biofuel crops as they
become available. Big Island farmers have

• Water your lawn only 2-3 times a week.
• Don’t water between 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.
• Check & fix leaks in plumbing and toilets.
• Install water-efficient plumbing fixtures.
• Take shorter showers.
• Put a nozzle on your garden hose.

Hawaii's Energy
Independence
by JeffMikulina
It’s understood that most of the
oil in the world was created from
diatoms, single-cell organisms that
captured sunlight, settled to the
bottom of oceans and lakes, and
were transformed over time by the
earth's heat and pressure into black
gold. But it’s hard to grasp that
those tiny creatures are now some-
how illuminating the glossy screen
of my iPhone. It’s even more dif-
ficult to accept that the whole pro-
cess is unraveling our climate and
acidifying our oceans—all while it
drains our economy and jeopardiz-
es our security.
"We know there is a better way."
Here on these islands perched in
the center of the Pacific Ocean,
the majority of our 21st century
029 honuguide.com
lifestyles are powered by imported
crude oil. We have a million barrel-
per-week habit in Hawai‘i. It fuels
our cars, generates our electricity,
and powers our airplanes. Without
it, everything would stop: we’re one
supertanker away from becoming
Amish.
It wasn’t always this way. In the
1850s, Hawai‘i enjoyed a vibrant
biofuel industry, harvesting sperm
whales and humpbacks for their oil
and exporting the product across
the Pacific. But shortly after Colonel
Drake’s Pennsylvania well pulled
up black gold in 1859, the balance
of trade for the islands started to
shift. More oil started to flow into
Hawai‘i than out. Ships, such as
the Falls of Clyde, were retrofitted
into tankers (it stands today as the
world's only surviving sail-driven
oil tanker). Switching to petroleum
wasn’t the result of running out of
whales (although their populations
suffered mightily), but what was be-
lieved to be a better alternative.
Similarly, we don’t have to wait until
we run out of oil to make the
shift to clean, local, renewable en-
ergy sources. To paraphrase Amory
Lovins of the Rocky Mountain Insti-
tute: the Stone Age didn’t end be-
cause we ran out of stones.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
Hawai‘i has sought ways to tap
into indigenous sources of power
for over a century. A 1902 letter to
the editor in The Honolulu Adver-
tiser suggested that the “Pali winds
would supply Honolulu with cheap
power” and without such sources
of power Hawai‘i would remain
an “inferior place.” Biomass from
the sugarcane industry provided
a good chunk of Hawaii’s electric-
ity throughout the 20th Century,
although the dependence on im-
ported oil grew. The 1973 oil em-
bargo shifted the renewable energy
effort into high gear. The preface
of a 1974 State of Hawai‘i Energy
Policies Plan stated, “Instead of
disappearing, certain kinds of bad
dreams have the tendency of re-
curring.” A 1977 State Senate re-
port begins “We are facing a major
transition in our way of life, energy
wise.” The report goes on to lay out
a vision for energy independence in
the islands by the year…2010.
Then, as humans are apt to do,
we hit snooze. The collective con-
scious shifted as the price of oil
fell and other crises commanded
the public’s attention. Today, the
percentage of electricity generated
by clean energy statewide is near-
ly half what it was during the first
Earth Day in 1970. Oil importation
over the same period has grown at

least 50 percent. Talk of Hawaii’s
energy independence continues to
be renewable.
We know that Hawaii’s dependence
on imported crude will come to an
end. The question is whether it will
be on our terms or on someone
else’s terms—and how much dam-
age must our climate and oceans
suffer in the meantime? If we de-
cide that it will be on our terms,
then transforming Hawaii’s energy
culture relies on three catalysts:

vision. M

powered by people.
K
For the needed policy and market
transformations to occur, a growing
chorus of organizations and indi-
viduals must create the political will
for change. Hawai‘i has a proud tra-
dition of pulling together when the
stakes are high—and the stakes
couldn’t be higher with the threat of
climate change and the unstable oil
(con't >)

supply to our islands. A movement
of people united by shared values
and vision can be unstoppable.
That is the force Hawai‘i needs to
shake free from fossil fuel.
While the ambitious “Hawai‘i Clean
Energy Initiative” effort is com-
mendable for its federal partitipa-
tion and expertise, much of theplan
currently hangs on large Neighbor
Island wind projects and an expen-
sive cable. That choice can only
come from the communities where
the infrastructure will be built. The
decision must evolve organically
and democratically—not be dic-
tated from O‘ahu. The discussion
031 honuguide.com
cannot be forced or fabricated.
The planning has showed us what
is possible; it’s up to us to decide
what is acceptable.
The other way people form the
basis for change—particularly en-
ergy change—is in the small daily
decisions and behaviors that we
all make. No amount of new tech-
nologies or policies will overcome
a culture of waste at the individual
level. The decision to invest in solar
energy, to ride a bike, to buy locally
is personal. But the effects are col-
lective. In Hawai‘i, we can use our

these smart energy choices.
Any lasting social change must
be driven by people—people with

Democratizing our power in Hawai‘i
will require putting power in our de-

TECHNOLOGY
Our 1890s style power grid is a bar-
rier to the clean energy revolution.
We have been tweaking Hawaii’s
antiquated energy system around
the edges for decades, but to get
off of expensive fossil fuels for real,
we need transformative change.
That transformative change takes
the form of a smart grid, energy
storage, and new transportation
technologies. Currently, electric-
ity flows in one direction: from the
power plant to your home or busi-
ness. This is similar to television in
the 1960s. When you turned on the
TV, you watched whatever one of
the three networks was broadcast-
ing. You could not store the broad-
cast and you could not contribute
your own content. That is roughly
how our power grid operates today.
To take advantage of distributed
and diversified sources like solar,
wind, and wave, the grid must be-
come smarter and have the capaci-
ty to store electricity. It will resemble
today’s Internet—where distributed
servers both send and receive
packets of information. Such a self-
aware, robust smart grid will instan-
taneously adjust to shifts in wind
strength or cloud cover over solar,
balancing energy loads on the oth-
er side of the wire and drawing on
stored energy when needed.
An African proverb advises that
if you want to go quickly, go alone;
if you want to go far, go together.
We must go far. We all must work
together in relentless pursuit of
Hawaii’s energy independence.
We need every voice, every idea—
and ever body.
In Hawai‘i, we need power that’s
as dependable as the sunrise.
To make full use of all of Hawaii’s
native energy sources we need
the ability to store power for times
when the mana isn’t flowing. While
it’s not clear what form will be most
cost effective—fuel cells, pumped
water, flywheels, ultra capacitors,
batteries, dilithium crystals—we do
know that the technology is evolv-
ing rapidly (consider data storage
for computers). In the late start-
ing 1950s, cutting-edge data stor-
age could store the equivalent of
one MP3 file in the space of half a
carport. Today, over 12,000 such
files fit on a keychain flash drive.
We may see a similar evolution for
power storage, with devices that
could run your home for a week
from stored sunlight or wind. Plug-
in electric or hybrid cars may also
offer storage potential on the new
grid, as tens of thousands of mobile
batteries will be idle and plugged in
to the grid most of the day.
While this new power system would
likely be anchored by larger clean
energy sources—wind, concentrat-
ing solar, ocean energy—much of
the power would come from neigh-
(con't >)
 borhood or rooftop sources such as
solar photovoltaic (PV). This distrib-
uted model of community-scaled
power generation and storage
would also fulfill Thomas Edison’s
original vision for electricity—in the
1880s he forecast a power plant in
every community. The difference,
of course, is that our power plants
would be clean, quiet, and sustain-
able.
Fortunately, Hawai‘i is no stranger
to invention and innovation. Early
Polynesians developed catama-
rans, perfected wayfinding tech-
niques, and developed sustainable
agriculture techniques for these
islands. Later King Kalakaua in-
stalled one of the first telephone
systems in the world and lit ‘Iolani
Palace with electric lights. Matson
built the first cold-storage ship and
standardized containerized ship-
ping for the globe. More recently,
Pacific Biodiesel established the
first commercial biodiesel produc-
tion and is still going today. Hawai‘i
has invented its way through ad-
versity and to prosperity in the past.

Our current energy challenge is no
different.
VISION
We have most of the tools we
need and every reason to achieve
energy independence for our is-
lands. However we will only end
the steady stream of supertankers
with a persistent, statewide vision
of getting off oil. We cannot afford
more 1970s “inertiatives”—great
ideas that never really get moving.
Instead, let’s fast forward to a
Hawai‘i powered solely by clean,
renewable sources of energy, and
then look back on how we accom-
plished it. What barriers stood in
the way? How did we pull together
our strengths and overcome them?
Was it an agreement to accept a
short-term increase in energy cost
to pay for infrastructure? Did we
have honest discussions about how
we all contribute to—and share the
abundance of—our clean energy
future? Perhaps motivation might
be found in not losing sight of the
alternative vision: oil price shocks,

degrading reefs, disappearing
beaches, and an uncertain future.
We are capable of much more
than we realize. Now is our moment
in history for Hawai‘i to achieve
something bold for the globe, send-
ing ripples of our success across
the Pacific. We can not wait for so-
lutions to come from someone or
somewhere else—that’s what led
us to where we are today. We look
to ourselves to power our future.
Science now tells us that the deci-
sions we make today cast a long
shadow on the future of our planet.
What if we started acting as if this
really mattered? That ending fossil
fuel in Hawai‘i wasn’t just a matter
of sustainability, but of survivabil-
ity? Let’s pull together. The vision-
ary Donella Meadows reminds us
“We have exactly enough time,

Vodka from Hawaii?
When you think of Hawaii, what comes to mind? Palm
trees, hula dancers, Waikiki Beach, Don Ho? How about
Vodka? No? Well one Maui family is working to change
that. Kyle Smith, his wife Diana, along with their sons
Shay & Sye and their wives Dyanna & Jennifer have cre-
ated a one-of-a-kind vodka made in Hawaii. They call it
OCEAN.
So what’s so unique about OCEAN Vodka? It is in the
water – ocean water. OCEAN Vodka is made from USDA
Certified Organic sugar cane (which makes it gluten free)
& desalinated ocean water. Since vodka is a blend of
60% water & 40% neutral spirits the Smith family chose to
name their vodka “OCEAN”, since the water has such an
influence on the vodka.
The deep sea water used to make OCEAN Vodka was
once a part of the vast glaciers of Greenland. The glaciers
melted, dropped into the ocean and traveled the deep-
sea current of the Pacific Ocean for 2,000 years before
reaching the Hawaiian Islands. The water is desalinated
using a state-of-the-art process which removes most of
the sodium while leaving behind trace minerals that are
not found in common surface water, namely: Potassium,
Magnesium and Calcium. It is these minerals that give
OCEAN Vodka its unique character.
“We hand-craft our vodka, in small batches, by blending
the desalinated water with organic sugar cane spirits in
our Kahului facility to produce an exceptionally smooth
vodka. When we say we are a ‘hands-on’ company, we
mean it”, chuckles Shay, “All hands on deck! Our entire
family works together and personally handles every bottle
of our vodka.”
OCEAN Vodka comes from the ocean and gives back to
the ocean. “It is very important to us that our vodka reflect

This map shows what is commonly referred to as the
world’s ‘conveyor belt’, a deep sea current that travels the
world’s oceans. It’s slow moving, so when it reaches the
Hawaiian Islands that water is cold, crisp and has not been
exposed to surface impurities, like smog, run-off and other
pollutants that we humans have put into the ocean, for over
2,000 years. OCEAN Vodka sources the sea water from 3,000
feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean off the Kona
Coast of the Big Island where the water is at its very purest.
what we believe in, sustainable organic living, while giving
back to the ocean that nourishes our lives”, adds Shay. A
portion of all proceeds from the sale of OCEAN Vodka is
donated to organizations working to conserve the world’s
ocean resources.
In addition, OCEAN Vodka works to reduce their impact
on the environment. Their bottles are made from 60%
recycled materials. Not only does this reduce the use of
additional natural resources, this recycled material melts
faster and at a lower temperature than the raw materials
would, conserving energy and reducing carbon emissions
with every bottle. OCEAN Vodka uses only organic, wa-
ter soluble inks and coatings to decorate their glass. “We
hope to serve as an example in our community and the
world that business in Hawaii can thrive while using envi-
ronmentally responsible business practices & renewable
sources of energy.

rection and is managed by Kobo Wealth, Mat-
thew D. Hutcheson, LLC, Sustain Hawaii and
Charles Schwab (as custodian). HIPP seeks
to provide hope and a vision for our local
economy and for the retirement savings of all
Hawaii‘s employees. This new platform can
play a role in helping diversify our economy
by supporting local entrepreneurs and spur-
ring job creation.
The Prosperity Plan is guided by the following
principles of a Healthy Economy:
1. A healthy economy produces and exchang-
es as many local goods and services needed
by residents as it can, and trades products it
doesn’t produce at home.
2. Healthy economy public policies support
decentralized ownership of businesses &
farms, fair wages, taxes and budget alloca-
tions, trade policies benefiting local econo-
mies and stewardship of the natural environ-
ment.
3. Healthy economy consumers appreciate
the benefits of buying from local businesses
and are willing to pay a premium to secure
those personal and community benefits
4. Healthy economy investors value busi-
nesses that are community stewards and
accept a "healthy return" on their financial in-
vestments rather than a maximum return. 5.
Healthy economy media provide sources of
news independent of corporate control.
6. Healthy economy businesses are primar-
ily independent and locally owned, and value
the interests of all stakeholders, while build-
ing long-term profits.
Healthy Economy Businesses Strive To:
1. Source products from businesses with
similar values, with a preference for local
procurement.
2. Provide employees a healthy workplace
with meaningful living-wage jobs.
3. Offer customers personal service and use-
ful, safe, quality products.
4. Cooperate with other businesses in ways
that balance their self-interest with their obli-
gation to the community and future genera-
tions.
5. Use their business practices to support an
inclusive and healthy community, and to pro-
tect our natural environment.
6. Yield a "healthy return" to owners and in-
vestors.

"KEEP IT LOCAL"
by sustainhawaii.org
"Keep it Local" refers to our deep commitment
to these islands and our community. Rather
than only buying local, Keep it Local suggests
our larger role as stewards because thinking
and acting locally has dramatic impacts on
our community, economy and environment.
We may not be able to buy everything we
need or use from local independent business-
es, but if we first look for local sources for the
things we need, we can improve the impact
of our daily actions and purchasing decisions.
The goal is to create a thriving local economy
by maximizing the potential of local busi-
nesses, and transferring market share (busi-
ness, government and consumer purchases)
from non-locally owned businesses to local,
independently-owned businesses.
One of the greatest things an individual can
do to support their community is to patronize
its locally owned businesses. Compared to
their national competitors, local independent
businesses recycle, on average, more than
three times the money back into the local
economy and give greater support to a com-
munity's nonprofit and civic needs. They are
better positioned to respond to the special
needs of the community, and they are more
tied to the community's future. Additionally,
a community with vibrant independent busi-
nesses retains its unique character as a great
place to live and visit.
The four largest components of local spend-
ing are wages and benefits paid to employ-
ees, goods and services purchased from
other local businesses, profits that accrued
to local owners, and taxes paid to local and
state government. These businesses bank
locally, use local accountants, advertise in lo-
cal publications, purchase inventory from lo-
cal manufacturers, use local internet service
providers and repair people, etc.
Research has shown that small local busi-
nesses average up to five times more contri-
butions to communities and neighborhoods.
Local, independent businesses account for
most of the job growth in the state and pro-
vide some of the most stable employment
opportunities.
Local businesses usually require compara-
tively little infrastructure investment and make
more efficient use of public services versus
big-box stores. The taxes paid by large retail-
ers often do not cover the increase in public
services that are required and the difference
can be dramatic. While small stores gener-
ate a net annual surplus (tax revenue minus
costs), big-box stores, strip shopping centers
and fast-food outlets require more in services
than they produce in revenue, thus creating
an annual tax deficit.

THE LIVABLE HAWAII KAI
The Livable Hawaii Kai Hui is a grassroots,
solely volunteer-driven 501(c)3 organization
open to anyone with an interest in preserv-
ing the fragile cultural and environmental
treasures of East Honolulu while promoting a
sense of community and maintaining its liv-
ability.
Since its formation in 2004, the Hui remains
steadfast in its mission to preserve natural
resources such as the 87-acres of agricul-
ture land in Kamilo Nui Valley from urban en-
croachment. Because the Valley is outside
the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB), the Val-
ley is still predominately in its original state
and serves as a natural watershed for the
community and Maunalua Bay.
Hui members and their supporters also ad-
dress all types of other issues that affect the
quality of life in the East Honolulu area. These
issues include preservation of the wetlands
and endangered species, cultural sensitivity
regarding several ancient heiau in Hawaii Kai,
and being vigilant in upholding the integrity of
the East Honolulu Sustainable Communities
Plan.

Sustainability &
Re-Localization

localized Kaua`i and Hawai`i. To
us, Sustainability goes way beyond
simply sustaining our resources.
Ultimately we envision Kaua`i, and
all of Hawai`i, as a place where the
`aina is healthy, all people enjoy a
high quality of life, community is
strong, and culture is respected
and perpetuated. Our education,
network building, advocacy and
programs focus primarily in the ar-
eas of food, water, energy, green
business and the economy.
“Sustainability” ensures that the
needs of everybody in our commu-

reconnecting with our local roots of
self-sufficiency, keeping economic
power and resource control local
to the greatest extent possible, and
respecting the principles of con-

We have grown accustomed to a
consumption-based economy that
lacks a mechanism for regenerat-
ing the resources that sustain life
and value social equity.
Hawai`i will ultimately be pushed
towards greater economic diversifi-
cation and self-reliance. It is imper-
ative that, in creating our future, we:
• Listen & speak with an open
mind & heart
• Respect one another’s values
• Be willing to adapt
We have the opportunity to build
an economy comprised of local
businesses which produce goods
and services to meet the real needs
of their communities: food, en-

Hawaii’s Green Business
Program is Growing:
Here’s to 50+ in 2010!
By GailSuzuki-Jones & BrennaOnge
The Hawaii Green Business Program works
with businesses and government entities to
certify hotels/resorts, offices/retail, and res-
taurant/food service as well as government
offices that are not only environmentally re-
sponsible, but also strive to go above and
beyond the minimum criteria. This growing
program is co-sponsored by the State De-
partments of Health; Business, Economic
Development, and Tourism, the Chamber of
Commerce of Hawaii and the City and Coun-
ty of Honolulu’s Board of Water Supply and
Recycling Offices.
The program’s objectives are to: reduce
energy and water consumption, promote
recycling, prevent pollution, reduce emis-
sions, and educate employees and custom-
ers about environmental practices. Lodging
entities that undergo certification benefit
from bottom line savings (through energy,
water, and waste conservation), green busi-
ness networking abilities and positive public
recognition as an authentically green and
responsible business; as well as an ECO
designation in AAA’s 2010 Tour Guide.
The Hawaii Green Business Program started
off with its focus on hotels and resorts. Since
its conception, the Hawaii Green Business
Program has certified over 20 properties
For more information on the program, see: www.hawaii.gov/greenbusiness or contact the

state wide. As part of the Green Hotel and
Resort Program, participants agreed to:
- Monitor and post rates of water, energy & waste.
- Provide incentives & training opportunities to gain
staff participation in the Green Business Program.
- Inform customers about what you are doing to
meet the green business standards.
- Assist at least one other business in learning
about enrolling in the Green Business Program.
- Demonstrate a diversion of solid waste.
- Reduce energy & water use and pollutant release.
With the success of the green hotel certifi-
cation, the Green Business Program has
expanded to include: offices, retail establish-
ments, restaurants, food service and govern-
ment entities. The Green Office and Retail
Program is co-sponsored by the Building
Owners and Managers Association (BOMA)
and the International Facility Management
Association (IFMA) Hawaii. Currently five of-
fices have been certified and up to 10 more
are in process, including government build-
ings. There are no fees involved.
Hawaii Green Business Program is expand-
ing into the Restaurants and Food Service
sector. Businesses are required to complete
an enrollment form and checklist to ensure
that the program is appropriate for their busi-
ness. A business is expected track energy
and water usage and waste generation and
recycling and may be re-evaluated annually.
Program information, enrollment form and
checklists are available on the DBEDT and
DOH websites.
“Conserving energy and water makes sense
for businesses, public agencies and for all
residents of Hawai‘i as we continue to work
collaboratively to increase Hawai‘i’s energy
independence and preserve our natural re-
sources,” said DBEDT Director Theodore E.
Liu. “The Hawai‘i Green Business Program
works to have businesses become more
resource-efficient and share their practices
and tips with their peers, clients, guests and
employees.”

Sustainability &
Your Money
by MichaelKramer
For 40 years, the socially respon-
sible investment (SRI) movement
has focalized attention on the
use of capital to create a re-
generative society. This “triple
bottom line” approach weights
social, ecological, and financial
criteria equally in order to profit
while also caring for employees,
customers, the community, and
the environment.
The fragility of local communi-
ties requires special consider-
ation of how money is used. Much
attention is focused on the impact
of major corporations on locally-
owned economies. While “buying
local” does have the positive effect
of circulating money locally before
profits leak away, ethical issues
complicate consumer choices: for
051 honuguide.com
example, is it more socially respon-
sible to buy local, less expensive,
conventionally-farmed eggs or
cage-free, hormone-free, organic
eggs from the mainland that cost
more and must be shipped here? Is
it better to buy lumber from Home
Depot, which has a policy against
selling old-growth timber, or from
a locally-owned company with no
such policy? These are the difficult
choices one faces here in Hawai`i,
and everywhere.
Shifting to local consumption
patterns may reduce the cost of
many goods, but only if local busi-
nesses heed the social and envi-
ronmental consequences of these
processes. If the products we buy
were produced via exploitative la-
bor or by poisoning ecosystems,
how can profiteering be justified?
Most Americans lack the proper in-
formation to make informed choices
in this realm, which is why the SRI
industry actively promotes “better”
companies which adhere to the
higher “triple bottom line” standard.
In addition to shifting our pur-
chasing habits, one of the most
popular ways to invest in sustain-

ability is by opening an account at
a community development financial
institution (CDFI). These banks,
credit unions, and loan funds have
a social agenda to empower those
who lack traditional access to capi-
tal or financing sustainable enter-
prises. Money market accounts,
certificates of deposits, checking
and savings accounts are often
available. Here in Hawai`i, certified
CDFIs include Kahuku FCU and
Word of Life FCU, as well a Ka`u
FCU on Hawai`i Island. Visit www.
communityinvest.org to view the
national database of CDFIs.
In addition to conscious pur-
chasing and banking, it is also
possible to use investment ac-
counts to make a difference. There
are over 200 mutual funds which
use a variety of social screens to
weed out companies in the tobac-
co, alcohol, gambling, military, and
nuclear power sectors. Polluters,
companies that do unnecessary
animal testing, use sweatshops and
child labor, operate in repressive
regimes, have excessive executive
pay, allow workplace discrimina-
tion, and/or have problematic finan-
cial and management policies can
also be eliminated. Funds also hold
companies that have a good social,
governance, and environmental
policies, or that focus on renew-
able energy, public transportation,
energy conservation, recycling, or-
ganic and health food, biodegrad-
able products, affordable housing,
and local infrastructure.
Shareholder activism is a key strat-
egy in corporate reform, as inves-
tors use dialogue, resolutions and
the threat and use of divestment to
encourage companies to embrace
reforms. Recently, progress was
made on multiple fronts, including
a new rule implemented by the Se-
curities and Exchange Commission
requiring mutual funds to disclose
their proxy votes, and successful
resolutions and dialogues on issues
such as global warming, sexual ori-
entation nondiscrimination, political
contributions disclosure, reductions
of toxic emissions, and executive
pay standards. Over 1000 resolu-
tions were filed last year!
As there are over 200 SRI mutual
funds, the values and practices of
the managers vary greatly. Some
may just avoid alcohol, gambling,

and tobacco, while others take a
more comprehensive approach.
Since 1992, the Natural Invest-
ments Social RatingSM has rated
the funds’ social criteria based on
the managers’ methodology. Simi-
lar to the star rating used by Morn-
ingstar® to rate the financial per-
formance of mutual funds, the NI
Social RatingSM uses a heart scale
to measure social and environmen-
tal performance.
Funds that only use minor avoid-
ance screening may only receive
one heart, while those that apply af-
firmative screens, place their cash
in CDFIs, and engage in share-
holder advocacy are more likely to
receive four or five hearts. The Rat-

issue of Green Money Journal and

Money has no inherent value, and
this neutrality shifts its true value to
the people who spend it. As such,
money can be a powerful force for

in this country and throughout the

A Sustainability
Vision For
Hawaii's Future
by AlexanderdeRoode
The State of Hawaii is emerging
as a testing ground and research
& development hub for several en-
vironmentally-related and sustain-
able technologies.
Here in Hawaii, we are blessed to
have an abundance of natural re-
sources found in the form of wind,
sun, freshwater, ocean, and fertile
soils In addition, we benefit (on
most islands) from a well devel-
oped transportation system; water
treatment, storage and delivery
systems; a relatively modern elec-
trical grid; substantial educational
opportunities; and a healthy tour-
ism industry.
However, we also face several
053 honuguide.com bio: Alex de Roode, Executive Director, Sustainable Living Institute of Maui (SLIM) holds a
challenges to island sustainabil-
ity, particularly in the areas of food
and energy security. Even though
we are faced with these seemingly
insurmountable challenges, emerg-
ing industries in the areas of renew-
able energy and sustainable agri-
culture offer hope to our resident
population.
Hawaii has been designated as
a national test-bed for research
& development in clean renewable
energy technologies by the U.S.
Department of Energy. According to
the U.S. Department of Energy, this
R&D partnership includes projects
with public and private sector part-
ners that target early opportunities
and critical needs for Hawaii’s tran-
sition to a clean energy economy.
These projects entail: "designing

cost-effective approaches for the
exclusive use of renewable en-
ergy on smaller islands; design-
ing systems to improve stability of
electric grids with variable generat-
ing sources such as: wind power
plants on the islands of Hawaii and
Maui; minimizing energy use while
maximizing energy efficiency and
renewable energy technologies at
new large military housing devel-
opments; expanding Hawaii’s ca-
pability to use locally grown crops
and byproducts for producing fuel
and electricity; and assisting in the
development of comprehensive en-
ergy regulatory and policy frame-
works for promoting clean energy
technology use" (www.energy.gov/
news/5902.htm).
In the area of sustainable agricul-
ture, we are seeing a resurgence
of small-scale local and organic
food production and agri-tourism,
coupled with the marriage of mod-
ern and traditional agricultural tech-
nologies.
Local entrepreneurs and exist-
ing practitioners are organizing to
take advantage of these emerging
opportunities to address our local
sustainability challenges. These
partnerships, along with an increas-
ingly conducive political climate, of-
fer hope to our resident population
that our dependencies on imported
food and energy have the potential
to be drastically reduced in the not
too distant future.
A potential outcome of these efforts
may be more affordable food and
energy for Hawaii residents and
visitors, increased food and energy
security for our islands, and the de-
velopment of job opportunities for
a locally trained workforce in the
emerging industries of sustainable
agriculture and clean renewable
energy and energy efficiency. Ad-
ditionally, these efforts may lead
to the development of sustainable
models for other islands to emulate
and adapt to their specific contexts,
as well as helping to inform the na-
tion and the world as to how we can
transition to more sustainable ways
of living.

Social Justice &
Sustainability
by MiwaTamanaha
Ah, sustainability. We tote
our cloth grocery bags, our
swiss-made, leach-proof wa-
ter bottles. And it feels good.
But is there something we're
missing?
This year marks 22 years since
the release of the UCC Racial
Commission Report, the land-
mark study that first demonstrated
a connection between the loca-
tion of toxic waste facilities and
communities of poverty and color.
Today, we know the most signifi-
cant predictor of where hazardous
waste facilities are located in the
United States is race. Race is a
factor more powerful in determining
where hazardous waste is dumped
than household income, the value
of homes, or even the estimated
055 honuguide.com
amount of hazardous waste gener-
ated by local industries. While peo-
ple of all backgrounds are impacted
by environmental "bads," people of
color are impacted most.
Despite all we know, people are
still failing to make the connection.
Said Damali Ayo of Black. Brown.
Green. said, "I’ve often said during
my anti-racism work, 'if you don’t
lower your consumption, people of
color suffer.' This garners an unfor-
tunate chuckle of disbelief from my
audiences."
Of course, these facts don't all
translate directly for us in Hawai'i;
we are, admittedly a distinctly differ-
ent kind of place from the continent.
We have unique race politics, a
unique cultural context. And yet, on
O'ahu, four of the island's six power
plants are located on the Wai’anae
coast, home to the largest, most
concentrated community of Native
Hawaiians in the islands (and the
world). This Coast is also home to
O'ahu's only major municipal land-
fill, its only large-scale industrial
park, and O'ahu's only military live-
fire training range. The impacts are
real. Native Hawaiians, and those
on the Wai'anae Coast, suffer some
of the worst health in Hawai'i.
As sustainability goes, Wai'anae
is also home to the largest pro-
ducer of organic greens in
Hawai'i, a place where residents
are reclaiming ancient farming
techniques, and successfully de-
manding monitoring and clean-up
of land and waters contaminated
by the military munitions dumping.
The future is yet to be written. But
we know that four of the five pro-
posed sites for future landfills for
O'ahu are located on the Wai'anae
Coast.
Today, a new waste-to-energy
power plant is proposed here, a
new major stationary source of
air pollutants to be built in an area
where asthma rates are the highest
in the state. 11% of adults and 13%
of children in Waianae suffer from
asthma. Scientists conservatively
estimate that 30% of all asthma
cases are due to environmental
factors. Ironically, if built, this new
power plant will also qualify as part
of Hawaii's alternative energy port-
folio.
Ah, sustainability.
No community on an island can
truly thrive while another suffers
unjustly. We are here together,
neighbors in a vast Pacific. We will
sail--or sink--together. The trash
we throw away in Kailua is land-
filled in Wai'anae. Power gener-
ated by burning oil and trash on
the Waianae Coast, helps power
offices in Honolulu. It is for us to
recognize our fundamental inter-
connectedness.
To succeed, sustainability must
be an inclusive movement--a just
movement. This means reaching
beyond the restoration of our lands
and waters from environmental
“bads” to the equitable allocation
bio: Miwa Tamanaha is the Executive Director for KAHEA: The Hawaiian-
Environmental Alliance (www.kahea.org and blog.kahea.org)
of environmental “goods”, including
nutritious food, clean air & water,
recreation, health care, education,
transportation, and safe jobs, for all
people in Hawai'i.
This "going green" has to be for
everyone. What will this require of
us? Perhaps no more than some
simple honesty; honesty about
what our choices mean for impact-
ed communities; personal honesty
about our individual choices; po-
litical honesty from those who gov-
ern. Justice is a call to believe that
more, and better, is possible for all,
and a call to live out (and not just
talk out) our highest principles.
We will face some critical issues in
this coming year--about municipal
waste, and energy, about housing,
education, and transportation. We
can choose be honest together, we
can decide to make some truly sus-
tainable choices. And if we do, we'll
be swinging our tote bags and sip-
ping our swiss-made water bottles
in a future Hawai'i that's greener for
all of us.
And that, after all, is what going
green is all about.
Power in Your Pocket
by Micheal Siaz
One of the greatest tools for social
change is responsible decision making
when opening or closing our wallets.
The individual power of our conscious
and unconscious choices in the distribu-
tion of money is the most important role
we play in any system of economics,
and how we express our moral choices,
and indirectly affect our community and
environment.
Each day you cast your votes by the
choices you make buying from your
friends, neighborhood store, big box
brand, and corporate or foreign busi-
nesses. Ask yourself: Are you voting for
a healthy economy? Are you supporting
positive or negative social change? Are
you sustaining or depleting the environ-
ment with your consumption habits?
Whether it is one dollar or thousands,
your actions send ripples into the pur-
chasing pond of the social and economic
systems of our local and global commu-
nity. Educate yourself and ask questions.

SUSTAINABLE UH
by ShanahTrevena
Sustainable Saunders, a multi-disciplinary
team of students called the HUB (Help Us
Bridge), has evolved Saunders Hall into
a model of sustainability. The HUB team
has installed odorless, waterless urinals and
low flow toilets, installed the first solar pan-
els at UHM, received a donation of a build-
ing mounted wind-turbine, built a community
courtyard with recycled lumber, performed
“dumpster dive” waste audits, implemented a
recycling program for each department, and
greened the balconies. They were also able
to delamp (remove) 50% of the lightbulbs in
Saunders. Combined with timed air condi-
tioning shut downs, they reduced energy use
by 24% in one year, saving $149,900 annually
without spending a cent. This was done sim-
ply by bringing the lighting and air condition-
ing into healthy levels.
Based on Saunders’ success, delamping and
A/C shutdowns have become campus-wide
initiatives at UH Manoa.
Their Interactive Launch Party evolved into
the largest annual Earth Day celebration on
Oahu which now occurs every year on April
22nd from 11:00am to 10:00pm. Sustainable
Saunders have launched a new student orga-
nization called Sustainable UH. The mission
of their new organization is to be of service
to all those establishing the University of Ha-
waii System as a world leader in sustainable
education, research and practices by provid-
ing “student-power” for energy audits, dump-
ster dive waste audits, light-bulb swaps and
other money-saving projects at the request
of organizations throughout the ten system
campuses.
The HUB is also extending its services be-
yond the campus and into the community by
following a model from Harvard called the
Student Sustainability Internship Program
(SSIP) in which HUB students provide a wide
array of sustainability services Students also
earn academic credit through a Community

The Sustainable Travel Education Partner-
ship (STEP) was created by University of
Hawai‘i at Manoa (UHM) faculty and students
in Fall 2008 to facilitate broad stakeholder
participation in support of sustainable best
practices.
A sustainability framework for tourism sug-
gests a reappraisal of how to nurture, not
alter, Hawai‘i’s environmental diversity. The
first STEP events held on Oahu and Maui in
2009 were attended by over 200 participants
and provided the opportunity for stakeholders
to discuss the following questions: What does
sustainable tourism look like in Hawai‘i; What
are the challenges to reach that goal; and
What roles do individuals and organizations
play to achieve the goal of sustainability for
the Hawaiian Islands?
Projected outcomes include input from those
in and/or interested in the tourism sector on
priority issues for research and community
actions that address broadly defined sustain-
ability initiatives (ecological restoration, eco-
nomic development/entrepreneurship, social
equity).

Planning for
Sustainability
with Natural Step
by AndreaDean
Despite all the interest and dialogue
about green businesses, very few
companies are using sustainability
strategically as a plan to add value
to their company. Most companies
and organizations are good at pick-
ing the “low hanging fruit” of green
business: setting up a recycling
program, changing light bulbs, and
using recycled paper, for example.
The Natural Step framework (www.
naturalstep.org) is a science and
systems based framework that was
developed in Sweden. The frame-
work is based upon four system
conditions that make up the defi-
nition of sustainability. One of the
most common problems in sustain-
able planning is getting everyone in

a company, community or county,
to agree on what sustainability is.
The Natural Step framework takes
all of the guess work out of defining
sustainability, offering a framework
for making ongoing decisions.
Since its inception in the 1989, The
Natural Step framework has been
used by large and small compa-
nies and communities all over the
world to plan for sustainability. Well
known corporate giants such as
Nike, Interface Carpet, Starbucks,
Home Depot and the Canadian
winter destination community of
Whistler, BC have all used The Nat-
ural Step to create long term plans
that address sustainability.
The framework is “scale-neutral,”
the size of the entity using it does
not matter. It can be used by busi-
nesses, communities, non-profit or-
ganizations and individuals. In the
Natural Step framework, we use
Backcasting to create a Compel-
ling Vision, making sure that our
vision does not break any of the
sustainability principles. Backcast-
ing is envisioning what your sus-
tainable future looks like and then
asking yourself how you got there.
This is very different from forecast-
ing, where you are typically stand-
ing mired in your current reality not
able to see a clear path forward.
The next step is a Baseline Analy-
sis- digging deep to find out where
you are not sustainable now. A
company or organization would
conduct a simple analysis of all op-
erations- transportation, purchas-
ing, operations, etc. The final step
in the process is to identify all of
the possible action areas to build
on existing efforts or for future inno-
vation and then to prioritize those
possible actions. This enables a
strategic plan that prioritizes short,
medium and long terms sustain-
able strategies.
The Natural Step framework gives
us a process that we can use to
create a meaningful, flexible plan
that moves us towards sustainabil-
ity. After all, if you don’t know where
you are heading, how will you get
there?

Ecological Design:
Wetland Technolgies
by LaurenRothVenu
Ecological design is a place-
based, holistic approach to sustain-
able development that blends cul-
tural tradition with modern scientific
knowledge and technologies.
We can no longer afford to continue
to develop disconnected infrastruc-
tures, especially on islands where
resources and space are even
more limited. Sustainable develop-
ment requires more than band-aid
action; it mandates revitalizing and
reconceptualizing our utilities, in-
dustries, community structures and
resources as integrated systems.
An ecological designer looks to Na-
ture for solutions to repair, restore
and enhance resources. Earth

La'au Lapa'au: "The health of the

Good for the 'Aina, ‘āina is inextricably
linked to the health
Good for the Kanaka of the people."
by KristaSteinfeld

In Hawaiian genealogies that ex-
tend back to the very beginnings of
time, the ‘āina (land; literally “that
which feeds”) is the elder sibling of
the kānaka (people).
The familial relationship of mālama
‘āina was the central tenant of an-
cient Hawaiian life; if the people
care for the land, then the land will
surely care for the people. For
over 100 generations, Kānaka
Maoli (Native Hawaiians) lived and
thrived in a sustainable island eco-
system that provided all the neces-
sities of life. Everything from food,
shelter, and tools, to transportation,
instruments, and medicine was pro-
vided by the ‘āina.
At the end of the 18th century,
Kānaka Maoli enjoyed excellent
health due to their active lifestyle,
healthy diets, and advanced sys-
tems of medicine. One of these
systems is Lā‘au Lapa‘au, or Ha-
waiian herbal medicine. Lā‘au
Lapa‘au uses plants, minerals, ani-
mal products, and an intense spiri-
tuality to cure illness and heal injury.
It is said that in ancient times, a for-
eigner named Kamakanuiaha‘ilono
brought this medicine to Hawai‘i,
eradicating epidemic disease and
establishing schools to dissemi-
nate this new knowledge. Through
several generations, Kānaka Maoli
refined and grew this tradition. In
ancient times, Lā‘au Lapa‘au was
used by the kānaka (common peo-
ple) and ali‘i (chiefs) alike to cure
everything from broken bones to
toxemia.
In the early 1800s, increasing
American and European influence
in the Hawaiian Kingdom govern-
ment led to laws that repressed na-
tive medicinal practices, including
Lā‘au Lapa‘au. Some practitioners
organized to vindicate themselves
from the labels of “heathen” and
“backward”, while other kāhuna
(masters) continued their practices
underground. During this period of
secrecy, Lā‘au Lapa‘au continued
to grow and evolve. Practitioners
incorporated newly introduced
plants plants and treated people
affected by the new, devastating
epidemics of the time. Even while
Kānaka Maoli continued using
Lā‘au Lapa‘au, the political repres-
sion of sion of Hawaiian medicine
lasted until the late 1970s, when
American laws banning its practice
and use were finally repealed.
Like many Hawaiian cultural prac-
tices today, Lā‘au Lapa‘au is being
perpetuated and grown by small
pockets of dedicated students and
the kūpuna (elders) who lovingly
pass on their ‘ike (ancestral wis-
dom). The endemic and introduced
plants of Hawai‘i’s forests, plains,
and oceans provide a plethora of
healing remedies that can treat
both acute and chronic illness –
everything from coughs to cancer.
The ‘āina that provides these cura-
tive herbs also provides the very
important preventative medicine of
nutritious, organic foods. Clearly,
as it was in ancient times, so is it
today: The health of the ‘āina is in-
extricably linked to the health of the
people.
With a vibrant, well-managed is-
land ecosystem and local, organic
agriculture, Lā‘au Lapa‘au can con-
tinue to promote cultural, medicinal,
and environmental sustainability in
our Hawai‘i nei.
Lā‘au Lapa‘au restores health to
the individual body, the collective
cultural community, as well as to
our beloved ‘āina.
So, the next time you’re feeling a bit
under the weather, choose the eco-
nomical, green, and Native path to
wellness through Lā‘au Lapa‘au. If
you are interested in learning some
basic lā‘au remedies, finding a lo-
cal practitioner, or getting involved

macopeia.

(Start date of this moon calendar)
This circular calendar offers a Hawaiian perspective on the flow of time. Its design reflects the
relationships among the spiritual, natural and human realms. In Hawaiian culture, the mahina
(moon) is an abode of the goddess Hina. Our kËpuna (ancestors) used the phases of the mahina
as a guide to sustain life and maintain balance in the environment. Today, many people continue
to rely on traditional Hawaiian knowledge as a guide for daily activities, including fishing and
farming. How do the moon cycles affect you, your family and your environment? TURN  PAGE

Healthy Policy &
Clean Dishes
by KoryPayne
We all know about those unavoid-
able things in life that are usually
unpleasant, such as: cleaning the
car or house, doing the dishes, or
balancing a checkbook when the
funds are low. Sometimes, deal-
ing with policy issues can feel the
same way. But while that’s true,
the lawmaking process inevitably
affects all of our lives in the most
intricate, and intimate of ways. No
matter how a society is organized,
this truth is inescapable. Even in
complete chaos, eventually order
will form and rules will be made.
These rules become laws.
Inaction is a Form of Action.
Since laws, or policies, are ines-
capable realities, then we have
two choices: a) we can avoid them
like a pile of dirty dishes, or b) we
077 honuguide.com
can work to understand them and
participate in shaping them for the
good of the whole (and “participate”
does not limit us to voting or sup-
porting a candidate). Either way,
there are consequences for our ac-
tion (or inaction). The less “we the
people” pay attention to what is go-
ing on at the policy level, the more
closed the process becomes. The
more we pay attention, the more
open it becomes.
Tools for Clarity & Understanding
It is the responsibility of govern-
ment, education systems, and our-
selves, to understand the lawmak-
ing arena and participate in it. Until
now, this arena has largely been
shrouded in confusion. Now, more
than ever before, we have tools at
our disposal to understand and par-
ticipate in this most intricate arena.
HealthyPolicy.org and related
tools allow us to see who is giving
money to politicians and when (be-
fore and after important votes on
certain issues, for example). For
any given policy, we can host all
of the relevant information on one
page—including where the bill has
been, how it has changed, how to
get more citizens to comment on

ence the bill’s outcome.
This type of participation is

Aloha HonuGuidess,
I'm having a eco-friendly breakdown.
Not familiar with the term? I might
have just coined it.
A:
The dilemma: I've been trying to better
educate myself about making eco-
friendly consumer choices for some
time now but there are so many factors
and so many ways to evaluate the “en-
vironmental friendliness” of a product.
For example, I am all about organic
cotton clothing - but the organic label
often doesn’t tell the whole story - you
have to consider how much packag-
ing and shipping was involved, as well
as farming conditions for workers and
even chemicals being used in the pro-
duction process itself. I get lost in the
weighing of pros and cons and finding
the lesser of evils in every consumer
choice I make. There are a million
of these situations, everything from
sustainable food choices to biodegrad-
able beauty products. Can you please
help me figure out right from wrong
when it comes to being the best “green
consumer,” I can be?
Mahalo for your kokua!
Going cuckoo like the clock in Manoa,

Provided by Melisa Medalle (www.messah.com)
Dear Ms. Viernes,
First of all, take a deep breath. Now, imagine the plethora of folks out there, just
like you, rifling through their copy of the HonuGuide.
There are a myriad of possible interconnections and symbiotic circumstances
tying all you HonuGuide readers together.
Perhaps you're on a personal quest to save the Earth. Maybe you are on the
hunt for some sweet deals. Whatever route your copy took to find its way to
you, the fact that you are reading these words means you've got some level
of environmental awareness going on. It’s easy to get caught up in politicized
debates and devil's advocate-type commentary about what is right, wrong,
acceptable and unacceptable. Don't let yourself get frustrated. Remember - it's
not about “right” or “wrong.” Boil it down to the basics. Keep it simple!
It's all about intention. If you go into any situation coming from a pure, clear-
minded place, whether it be environmentally-focused or not, the outcome will
only be positive and healing. Let's not write off scientific research and the like
– facts and knowledge have their time and place. The aim is only to remind
you that when things feel messy and complicated, give yourself a moment to
remember that you are doing good in so many other ways -and it all matters.
The fact that you are asking these questions and feel this stress is evidence to
the fact that you are engaged and actively seeking answers to environmental
issues and positive change.
So what is my intention and hope? For readers to be engaged, to actively seek
answers and learn more about what goes into their food, water, earth and to
promote god action – not perfect action. Do your best with a clear mind and
pure heart– that is all we or anyone can ask of you.
Keep on, keepin on,

Eating in Public
by GayeChan
In November of 2003 EATING IN
PUBLIC (EIP) was born with one
simple act: the planting of papaya
trees on public land without
permission.
Since then, we have continued
to do a variety of spontaneous ac-
tivism performances using ‘public’
and private space as stages that
question the power of the state
and dominant capitalistic economic
models. EIP's goals are to develop
fun and practical autonomous acts
that enable sustainable, egalitarian
economic and environmental prac-
tices and social relationships which
respect the utility and intrinsic value
of the commons.
EIP does not discriminate on any

categorical basis, serving both
the naughty and the nice. There
is no benefactor, nor creditor. And
no gratitude is required. Besides
growing and sharing food, EIP has
established a growing chain of per-
manent free stores that serve as
locations where anyone and ev-
eryone can leave or take stuff.. any
thing.. including money.
Our most recent project is the
implementation of an anarchist
HI-5 recycling bin system. Anar-
chist HI-5 bins began to appear on
O’ahu at private and ‘public’ loca-
tions about 8 months ago. A sim-
ple sign which reads, “HI-5 / Take,
Leave, Whatevas…,” is attached
to each bin along with our web ad-
dress (www.nomoola.com). As bin
locations multiplied, EIP gained has
gained more visibility and was fea-
tured on the front page of the Hono-
lulu Advertiser.

A blog and map chronicles pho-
tographs and some of the ever-ex-
panding bin locations (www.eating-

as means for participants to share
their experiences and to communi-
cate with one another.

DIY: Natural Building
by TimReith
Natural building is a construction
philosophy that emphasizes the
use of locally-available, sustainably
harvested and processed materials
for building designs that promote
ecological health, energy efficiency,
economic sufficiency, and commu-
nity cohesion and resilience.
The defining characteristics of Nat-
ural Building as a practice and set
of values highlights the intercon-
nectedness of aspects of everyday
Western life that have in recent his-
tory been viewed as disparate con-
cerns. Healthy built environments
require healthy natural and artificial
ecosystems, healthy communities,
healthy food production, healthy
economic activities, healthy energy
production, healthy waste process-
ing, healthy transportation.
In practice natural buildings are
often constructed with elemental
materials such as stone, earth, lo-
081 honuguide.com
cal timbers and lumber, fiber, bam-
boo, and other grasses. This does
not preclude a “modern” home with
the amenities of Western life, but it
does require a more intimate rela-
tionship between the building’s oc-
cupants and the structure itself.
For example, clay- and lime-based
plasters require attention and up-
keep far beyond “maintenance-
free” vinyl siding. Now more than
ever, informed decisions are nec-
essary as we design and build,
weighing the embodied energy, en-
vironmental effects, financial costs,
life cycle, toxicity, and aesthetics of
our materials and designs.
A home in leeward O‘ahu that
is designed to optimize catching
trade and on-shore/off-shore winds
for cooling along with shading and
orientation to minimize solar gain,
built of locally-available stone,
earth, timber, and bamboo would
go a long way towards achieving
most standards of sustainability.
Many people use the terms Natu-
ral Building and Green Building
interchangeably, and while there
are overlaps between the two dis-
ciplines, they are quite different.
MA‘O Organic Farms in Wai‘anae, O‘ahu has an ongoing project where commu-
nity members can learn masonry, cob and adobe construction,
timber framing, and natural plastering techniques.

sizes socially, culturally, and envi-

by MattJohnson
When I moved into my condo 3 years
ago in Kakaako, I thought I had every-
thing I could ask for in a living situation.
I had easy access to a pool, hot tub,
gym, mini-marts, bars and the beach.
Who could ask for more? Well, it didn’t
take long to realize that I did in fact need
more...more green space and more nat-
ural life.
Fortunately, I have a 400 square foot la-
nai. I decided to use this space to try my
hand at urban farming. My goal was to
produce an entire meal that was grown
20 feet from my kitchen. I am happily
a carnivore, so I knew I would need
to have some type of meat. Chicken,
beef, pork, and goat were out the ques-
tion because of Hawaii’s urban by-laws.
Fish was my only option for the pro-
tein source. I also needed fresh salad
greens. So I decided that aquaponics
was the way to go.
Aquaponics is “the symbiotic cultiva-
tion of plants and aquatic animals in a
Reuse Hawaii: www.reusehawaii.org
recirculating environment.” Basically,
it’s combining hydroponics with aqua-
culture in a closed-loop system that
requires fish to create effluent, which
is then used to fertilize the plants. The
plants act as a filter for the water which
is then deposited back into the fish tank.
To date, I have successfully grown
manoa lettuce, mesculin, swiss chard,
kale, parsley, and arugula.
I created a propogating pond where I
insert seeds into the growing medium,
add water. In a few days, I have baby
swiss chard. Within sixty days, most of
the lettuce is ready to harvest. Depend-
ing on the amount of feed given to the
tilapia, the fish can be ready to harvest
in 3-6 months.
After about 3 months of trial and error,
my dream of eating an entire meal that
had been grown on my balcony came to
fruition. I harvested two heads of butter
lettuce, some swiss chard and caught
two tilapias with my fishing net. Before
cooking the fish i put them in clean wa-
ter for a couple hours to help rinse them
out before cooking. I rolled them in flour
and threw them in a hot pan with butter.
The lettuce was rinsed and I added yel-
low-pear tomatoes that I harvested from
a recycled bath tub that I use to grow
various produce. My girlfriend brought
over some wine and we had an enjoy-
able dinner for two.

Hōkūleʻa, the Polynesian voyaging
canoe.
Under a clear night sky, we
packed our gear, piled on the ca-
noe, and our parents and teachers
rolled us across the kickball field
on our maiden voyage to Tahiti.
We only traveled about 100 feet on
solid ground but we felt like Polyne-
sian explorers.
Little did I know that one day, I
would join the crew of Hōkūle‘a for
a voyage of 1,000 miles to Palmyra
Atoll, and then return home with a
mission to share my story with chil-
dren in classrooms across the state
of Hawaiʻi.
My mission is fueled by the desire
to help meet the global challenge of
redirecting our social and environ-
mental compass, which currently
points toward an unsustainable fu-
ture. Just as Hōkūleʻa had inspired
me when I was ten, I decided to
ask our island youth about their vi-
sion for Hawaiʻi and how they might
imagine global change. I always
start with the same metaphor: Just
as on the canoe, our ability to sur-
vive here in Hawaiʻi (and globally) is
directly dependent on our ability to
help one another.
My visits to fourth grade classrooms
have helped me look for solutions in
sustainability through the fresh eyes
of a ten year old. I ask them, "If you
could choose 12 crew members for
a deep sea voyage, who would you
bring and why?” also, "What would
you bring on a deep sea voyage?"
Through these exercises I am
also able to incorporate the most
important values on the canoe:
Mālama Kekahi I Kekahi - Care for
one another
Ha‘a Ha‘a - Be respectful
‘Imi ‘Ike - Seek knowledge
Laulima - Work together
Mālama Hawai‘i - Care for Hawaiʻi
I also share pictures of daily life on
Hōkūle‘a, a big hit. One brave kid
always asks the bathroom ques-
tion. I show the students a picture
of a crew member wearing a har-
ness and dangling off the leeward
side of the canoe. They all laugh
and giggle. I turn to the next picture
of someone bathing with ocean wa-
ter, catching fish with a hand line,
collecting rain water with a tarp,
and playing ukulele for entertain-
ment. Last is a picture of our crew
members learning to steer and nav-
igate using the sun, moon, stars,
wind, waves, clouds, swells and
seabirds. They are amazed at the
simplicity of life on the canoe and
the complexity of navigating with-
out modern instruments. As I wrap
up my visits, I look into their eager
eyes and tell them to keep dream-
ing and working hard in school so
one day they can voyage on the
open ocean and become naviga-
tors of their own futures.
I would like to thank my teachers in
elementary school who taught me
values of love, respect, teamwork,
and perseverance and allowed me
to dream big and paint outside the
lines. Now that I have realized my
childhood dream of voyaging on
Hōkūle‘a, I want to spark a fire in
young people to become active and
engaged citizens of their schools
and their communities. I want to in-
spire hope and imagination in those
who still believe that our island
earth can be a healthy, safe place.
The HonuGuide is meant to in-
spire its readers to commit to
making a difference in their com-
munities. We all can contribute in
some unique way. It’s not too late
to create a new sail plan for Hawai‘i
and this world. I bet our fourth grad-
ers learning about the traditional
ways of Polynesian Voyaging can
help us find our way.

myra atoll in 2009. Currently, she is training along with other young voyagers to crew Hōkūle‘a
on its journey around the world, sharing a message of mālama honua, care for the earth.
