Here's a  Tribute to  Wai Opae in Kapoho  which we lost this past week.   My friends created this important  video  which helped get legislation passed in Hawaii to ban the sale of sunscreens with the harmful chemicals oxybenzone and octinoxate. Although we lost the reef most near and dear to our hearts, this historic legislation will create a ripple and spread around the world, helping to preserve our remaining precious reefs. Please watch the film and if you enjoy it, share it! Many shots were taken in some of the deeper tidepools. 
 


Pu'uhonua o Puna Info & Supply Hub was set up to help individuals displaced by the May 2018 lava activities. We are 100% community driven and funded. Our goal is to provide information and supplies directly to the people.

Lexington, Kentucky, 2004: Spencer and Warren dream of remarkable lives beyond their middle-class suburban existence. They head off to colleges in the same town, haunted by the fear they may never be special in any way. Spencer is given a tour of his school's incredibly rare book collection and describes it all to Warren. Suddenly, it hits them - they could pull off one of the most audacious art thefts in recent history, from the university's special collections library.
