Hawaii Is A Rare And Special Place, In Which Beauty And Isolation Combine To Form A Vision Of Paradise. That Isolation, Though, Comes At A Price: Resources In Modernday Hawaii Are Strained And Expensive, And Current Economic Models Dictate That The Hawaiian Islands Are Reliant Upon Imported Food, Fuels, And Other Materials. Yet The Islands Supported A Historic Hawaiian Population Of A Million People Or More. This Was Possible Because Hawaiians, Prior To European Contact, Had Learned The Ecological Limits Of Their Islands And How To Live Sustainably Within Them.Today, Hawaii Is Experiencing A Surge Of New Strategies That Make Living In The Islands More Ecologically, Economically, And Socially Resilient. A Vibrant Native Agriculture Movement Helps Feed Hawaiians With Traditional Foods, And Employs Local Farmers Using Traditional Methods; Efforts At Green Homebuilding Help Provide Healthy, Comfortable Housing That Exists In Better Harmony With The Environment; Efforts To Recycle Wastewater Help Reduce Stress On Fragile Freshwater Resources; School Gardens Help Feed Families And Reconnect Them With Local Food And Farming. At The Same Time, Many Of The People Who Have Developed These Strategies Find That Their Processes Reflect, And In Some Cases Draw From, The Lessons Learned By Hawaiians Over Thousands Of Years.This Collection Of Case Studies Is A Road Map To Help Other Isolated Communities, Island And Mainland, Navigate Their Own Paths To Sustainability, And Establishes Hawaii As A Model From Which Other Communities Can Draw Inspiration, Practical Advice, And Hope For The Future.
