This April 22nd marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. The first Earth Day in 1970 was imbued by a passionate desire to save our dying planet. Forty years later, we are still here and evermore realize the importance of eco-living, not just to save our planet, but also to sustain a healthy, happy way of life.

To show our support of the planet we've put a commitment box up in the store, sponsored by the Kokua Hawaii Foundation and Kanu Hawaii. We all ask you to make a few commitments to the planet this year, be it reusing water bottles, recycling, or walking and taking the bus in lieu of driving. For filling out a commitment card we will give you 10% off your entire purchase until April 22 (one per customer please).
Ways to support Hawaii's eco-Logical lifestyle
Ride The Bus, walk, or ride a bike instead of driving.
Buy local produce from farmer's markets whenever you can.
Use eco-friendly reusable water bottles instead of buying disposable water bottles.
Sigg 1 Liter bottle "Make Love Not Landfill"
Use reusable shopping bags at the grocery store.
