Please “friend” us on Facebook – windward climate change hui
Let’s keep our priorities straight. A Native American prayer says it all:
Mother Earth, thank you for all the gifts of your creation.
You open your body and give us the food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear, the shelter of our homes.

Some of the information shared at the event – great resource for disaster preparedness and ways to reduce your carbon footprint – is available at windwardclimatechangehui.wordpress.com, and in the future a video of the talks will also be available at that site.
The first group of speakers talked about climate change impacts and vulnerabilities. Dr. Camilo Mora and Dr. Dolan Eversole from UH shared their own research on temperature change, the impact on plants and on sea level rise. Stuart Scott shared data from scientists working on…
