Our mission is to operate in an environmentally friendly capacity, initiating innovative ways to improve the quality of life locally and globally.
Our practice is to "complete the recycling loop" in every way possible. We sell products made from recycled content or possessing the ability to return to nature.
Our most recent venture was Greening the Taste of Hawaii. Although the hauler missed the target and took the compostables to the dump, we are already coordinating the resource stream diversion for another event, KIUC's Annual Picnic. We are expecting diversion rates of 75-85%.
We also use manufacturers that are committed to Zero Waste & Zero Energy Consumption. Our manufacturer has one of the largest solar systems in their county providing them with over 85% of their electricity from the sun! Our manufacturer also offsets the greenhouse gases emitted during the transportation of our products by investing in projects that prevent the same amount of greenhouse gases from entering the environment. We save energy on the island by operating our of our home rather than supporting an additional office and warehouse. We limit the use of paper by sending our invoices through email, and what we must print we do on 100% recycled paper. Additionally, we recycle a variety of items including pallet wood, printer cartridges, boxes, paper and more.
Our philosophy is to conduct business with a heart of service to the community and a continued commitment to incorporate business practices that respect the Earth and the Environment.
We donate funds, products and volunteer hours to a variety of environmental non-profit organizations on the island. We are members of and and participate on the Hawaii 2050 Task Force.
We were awarded the Kauai Green Business Initiative Award from the Rotary Club of Kapaa.
Our fundamental goal is to keep Kauai Green, and our current project is working with Zero Waste Kauai on legislation for the banning of Styrofoam and plastic bags on the island. StopStyrofoamHawaii.org
