We were blessed to go to Kahoʻolawe to begin the process of creating a 360º virtual experience. The bell stone and the lele are in the foreground and Hōkūleʻa is directly above. The bright lights on the right is Kihei and Honolulu is behind that. Emphasizing the need for dark sky

Tanya Torres https://t.co/iPuIc8yyHu defended her masters work on the environmental footprint of Hawai'i's food supply at #NREMseminar. Depressing that economic barrieriers incentivize non-food ag over #foodsecurity. We can do better #gofarm
