“What are your biggest concerns about the future of your community with increasing impacts of climate change?”
🎥🌿 In our latest interview Reel, legendary aloha ʻāina activist Uncle Walter Ritte shares a powerful message straight from the Hawaiʻi State Climate Commission on what it truly takes to survive the climate crisis. ⛰️🌍
⚠️ The Reality: A Changing Climate
Our islands are shifting rapidly. Uncle Walter points out a harsh truth that many local growers are already feeling: we don’t have distinct seasons anymore. The predictable weather patterns our ancestors relied on have shifted, forcing a massive wake-up call for everyone tied to the land.
🌱 The Shift: A New Mindset for Farmers
To survive, we cannot keep doing things the old way. Farmers and practitioners must look at the land with a totally different frame of mind. It requires adapting on the fly, staying resilient, and maximizing the immediate resources we already have on our islands.
💚 The Foundation: Deep Regard for the ʻĀina
At the core of this survival strategy is Kanaka Maoli’s high regard for the ʻāina. True climate adaptation isn’t just about new technology; it’s about restoring our spiritual and physical connection to the land. By listening to the earth and working with it—not against it—we can build a sustainable, self-reliant future.

⚡🚙 Big news for clean transportation in Hawaiʻi! Join us in celebrating Hawaiʻi Island State Representative Nicole Lowen, who has been named the national Electric Vehicle Association’s 2026 Legislative Ambassador of the Year! 🏅🌴
💚 Chair of the House Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection, Rep. Lowen was recognized by the national Electric Vehicle Association (EVA) for her dedicated leadership in championing EV policies across our islands. 💚
🔌 Accelerating Clean Transportation
Transitioning away from fossil-fueled transportation is a core pillar of Hawaiʻi's climate strategy. Because ground transportation accounts for a massive slice of our state's emissions, expanding charging networks is critical to hitting our zero-emission targets.
By supporting policies that clear red tape and boost infrastructure, leaders like Rep. Lowen are helping build an ecosystem where clean transportation is reliable and accessible for all.
"By supporting policies that expand access to EVs and charging infrastructure, we are offering residents more affordable transportation options that also reduce pollution and lower our dependence on imported fuels." — Rep. Nicole Lowen
📈 Why EV Infrastructure Matters:
Lowers household costs by breaking our reliance on volatile import gas prices.
Improves public health by reducing harmful air and roadside pollution.
Strengthens grid resilience as modern charging infrastructure integrates with our clean energy grid.
Mahalo, Representative Lowen, for your outstanding leadership and for driving the policies needed to carry Hawaiʻi into a self-reliant future! 🚗⚡🔋
