Governor Green, by use of emergency proclamation powers, has cleared the way, cut the red tape, overcome the maze of rules, bypassed the normal processes designed to ensure proper use of public funds, and generally kicked some bureaucratic okole, in order to build housing for our homeless brothers and sisters.

https://homelessness.hawaii.gov/kauhale/  << tear producing video by Josh, and other Kauhale information here.

Ikaika Marzo, just the other day, spotlighted the increase of new homeless faces in Puna, and our need to help any way we can.

We should all urge Governor Green to focus on Puna, for the next Emergency Proclamation Kauhale.  What better place than HPP (Hawaiian Paradise Park), with it's abundance of large lots and Aloha for people of all walks of life?  This is an opportunity for residents of HPP to show where we really stand when it comes to sharing what we have with those who are less fortunate.

Wouldnt it be amazing if we could use Rob Tucker's container homes to make it even faster and more cost effective?  Rob can you make that happen if Josh selects HPP?

Please, act now and use this super easy, simple contact page to urge Governor Green to build the next Emergency Homeless Kauhale in HPP.

I’ve been using Biore sunscreen from Japan with bemotrizinol for many years. With the right formulation the Japanese versions have the best feel of any I’ve used. Hopefully there will be a similar US version.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved bemotrizinol — sometimes called BEMT — in June. The first sunscreens containing it are now hitting U.S. store shelves, including formulas from Neutrogena and other manufacturers.

Dermatologists say the chemical fills an important market gap by offering broad protection, like the most well-established sunscreen ingredients, but without their cosmetic downsides, including white streaking.

BEMT has decades of safety data behind it, including studies showing it has minimal absorption into the skin. That’s been a concern with some older sun-blocking chemicals.
