Welcome to Malama Honua
“The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa is committed to taking a leadership role in sustainability in our island state.
We are proud to present Malama Honua (“Caring for Earth” in Hawaiian) as our campus “digital meeting place” or “one-stop shop” forum for information and discussion on issues related to Sustainability.”
As part of living sustainably we've sought out a way to collect and catalogue sustainable efforts throughout the Mānoa community. To this end we're offering this electronic magazine whose purpose will be to share a collective experience with our readers. We're expecting this magazine to change as we discover what works and what doesn't. What won't change is our committment to providing the UH Mānoa community with a central location to share the sustainable things that our friends and neighbors are doing.

UH Mānoa Sustainability Corps will be a forum for all of us to share data, ideas, suggestions, and to propose projects and programs so that we can not only achieve our goals toward reducing Green House Gas emissions, but place UH Mānoa at the leading edge in Hawaii and in the world in this effort. <read more...>
