I also am a member of the Hawaiis Green Collar Institute this fall. This program focused on Mauka to Makai. The goal of this program is to offer local students a program to immerse themselves in possible job opportunities of "green" careers in Hawaii. This program also allows students to have hands on conservation work in places on Oahu closed off to the general public. Hawaiis Green Collar Institute really pushed the understanding of issues that our community faces environmentally and the possible solutions we can implement to help preserve our native ecosystems.

Being raised in Hawaii I have always been surrounded by nature, from hiking in the mountains to surfing at the beach breaks. I consider myself very lucky to be raised in Hawaii because it gave me a great passion to take care of it for it offers me so much in my life.
