Comm. No. 2018-15 Recovery Process Graphic Goals By RSF

Home

Integrated Goals from the Puna CDP & the General Plan by Recovery Support Functions (RSFs) What we have in common is far greater than what separates us. We need to become teachers of generosity through our compassionate deeds, actions, and example. We need to address globalization, environmental changes, widespread poverty, and rapid human population growth. Existing political and economic models need to be re -conceptualized, transformed, and balanced. A cosmic sense of purpose and belief, coupled with critical and creative thinking will help us see the possibilities of the future. It's a kakou thing — we are all connected. Hawaiians have been here for [centuries]. The Po'e Kahiko, the People of Old, mastered environmentalism and sustainability. In these times, if we look back to the wisdom and ways of our ancestors, we could better move forward. `E kuleana kakou! Its everyone's responsibility!
