The Future of East Hawaii

[Carolann R]

We recycle everything we can here in Arizona. Our blue recycle bin is full every week and less goes into the trash in the alley. I realize that we will be responsible for recycling trash there in Pahoa...seems like a super business op for someone?

You know, I have been thinking about this thread a lot. I try to be respectful of others even when their opinon is not the same as mine. I never find it necessary to actually "name call." I don't see how that benefits ANYONE. I was disheartened to see what I thought was bashing. I will forever speak out against that type of anger - which isn't to say it's not okay to be angry or perplexed about something - just seems like that energy could be more productive than to spew insults at others. JMHO - again - I'm getting down off the soapbox now.

P.S. I never considered myself a "treehugger" and really have not been an activist. I do miss them here in the Arizona desert since I was raised in Buffalo, New York (many trees) and moved to So. Cal. from there (also many trees)...I am so excited that I will be able to enjoy the smells and sounds of Puna and the flora and wildlife there.
