Since you’ve come this far, please show your Aloha
Hawaii has suffered a great tragedy. The deadliest wildfires in the last century.
Maui-based Carbon Almanac Contributor Richie Biluan wrote “You are important. Your voice is important. Your aloha is significant. If you are on social media, send someone an encouraging comment who you see is going through this tragedy, or any for that matter. Share critical information with your network. Write. Read. And most importantly - love one another.”
