‘Sustainable, Compassionate, Resilient Communities’ “Kanu Hawaii is a tax-exempt, nonprofit corporation that is overseen by a volunteer board of directors and administered by a small staff. In 2005, the founders of Kanu Hawaii asked each other three questions: 1. What do we love about Hawaii? Our connection to place, the strength of our communities, our diverse traditions, our island values. 2. What concerns us about the future? Shrinking opportunities, environmental degradation, the loss of communities, inequality, apathy, greed, intolerance… in Hawaii and throughout the world. 3. What can we do about it? This question had no easy answer. How do you build a movement when so many of us feel powerless in the face of huge problems? How do you demand change without compromising our island values?”
