Spencer Scamen IMPORTANCE OF RECYCLING INK AND TONER LOCALLY!

Aloha friends! We all know that recycling anything is very important, especially for those of us living on a small island.

The ink and toner business is a multi-billion dollar a year industry and most people don't realize how much waste is involved with the process of buying ink and toner, again, especially when you live on an island. Most people go to their local department store or office… Continue

Katy Rose Freedom for Security?

Anyone who read the Garden Island’s two-part series on teen drug use could not help but feel tremendous sadness and compassion for the Matthews family. Most of us cannot even imagine the weight of such a loss. Yet this should not stop us from forming a critical analysis of the information in the articles, particularly since media attention to issues is often the pre-curser to the formation of public policy. What, exactly, did we learn from these articles? That youthful drug experimentation has… Continue

Katy Rose "Civil Unrest," Riot Gear and Social Justice

Where there is more equitable distribution of wealth and power in a community, more people feel inclined to adhere to "social norms." As people begin to feel that an elite is increasingly taking more than their share and making it more difficult for average people to make a comfortable living, exercise self-determination and have their voices heard and respected in the public sphere, u… Continue

Katy Rose carpenters union video about globalization

This is a pretty good video put out by the carpenters union that explains how globalization is impacting workers. I like how it breaks it down in simple terms that even I can understand. I also appreciate its message about immigrant and foreign workers (solidarity!) and the way our broken health care system impacts our standard of living. Even though my husband is a proud carpenters union member we are critical of the carpenters union for alot of reasons. (I think we should all be critical of an… Continue

HORNBLOWER YACHTS – UNION-BUSTING SUBCONTRACTOR Hornblower Yachts is the subcontractor that Hawai'i Superferry uses to staff its operations. Everyone who wor… Continue
