Celebrating #EarthWeek2021
State Climate Commission member and Senator Mike Gabbard shares a message to inspire people to garden. A message from him:
“Aloha e friends and Happy Earth Day 2021! I was recently interviewed by Blue Zones Hawai‘i about how and why my wife and I started a garden, so in honor of Earth Day, I thought I’d share a clip with you ;)”
Gardening makes us more resilient, and reduces our carbon footprint. Go garden!
Koloa Iki campaign raises awareness of sea level rise in Hawaiʻi
We often hear about the phrase “sitting duck” – you think of vulnerability, an easy target. That’s a position we don’t want to be in and there’s a campaign recently launched around Koloa Iki, a little Hawaiian duck with a serious message about resilience and climate change.
State Climate Commission member Kaʻāina Hull and Climate Commission Coordinator Anu Hittle spoke with Hawaiʻi Public Radio about recently released guidance on dealing with sea level rise and the new scrutiny about future development. Listen in on their conversations here.
