As an Individual, Business or Organization I've made the following efforts to give back to the community, be mindful of the environment, reduce waste, and/or stimulate the local economy.
Dowling Focus Green Lecture Series is an annual event that features weekly lectures from leaders in the environmental field. The lecture series provides the Maui community with an opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge from world-renowned eco-heroes and environmental experts about a range of environmental topics including the issues of climate change and concepts of sustainability. Past speakers include Robert F. Kennedy Jr., David Suzuki, Ray Anderson, Dr. Sylvia Earle, Dr. Hunter Lovins, and Bill Nye. All of the proceeds from the Series benefit a local environmental nonprofit organization.
When Glenn Martinez and his wife Liz opened their farm in Waimänalo over a decade ago, Glenn knew he would farm organically. What he couldn't have fathomed is how his farm would evolve over that decade, seamlessly aligning with the principles of Permaculture. And not by luck, mind you. Glenn is an articulate, mechanically minded, forward-thinking famer and stands by his convictions of education and hard work. It s no accident Olomana Gardens is leading the charge in Hawaii for aquaponics, one of the smartest and most sustainable ways to farm organically.
