ISLAND BREATH
NEW SITE MISSION Island Breath is an online newsletter dedicated to people interested in the health of the island of Kauai. Kauai is often called the "Garden Island". It is lush and fruitful. If this island cannot be self-sustaining there is little to hope for this world. We define sustainability as: Sustainability is not, however, a means for the continuatiing the status quo. We have named our website “Island Breath” or “Breath of the Island” because in Hawaiian that phrase would be... “Ea o Ka `Aina” "The Spirit, Life or Sovereignty of the Land” In fact, for many years the motto of Hawaii has been... "Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka `Aina I Ka Pono" The articles on this website are displayed in reverse-chonological order (most current first). We invite articles submitted by our readers.You can add an article (subject to editorial approval) by emailing what you want to say to one of our staff.
