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:
• Using unrenewable resources no faster than they are recycled.
• Using renewable resources no faster than they are replaced.
• Maintaining the variety and balance of living species.
• Maintaining the art and knowledge of human cultures.
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"
"Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness"
There will be editorial direction and a focus on chosen issues. Our focus...
Peace • Justice • Environment
Health • Art • Love
