I am aware of global warming to the extent that, the ozone layer is diminishing caused by the pollution here on earth as well as a few recycling tips. However, my knowledge is very limited concerning sustainability and other issues concerning the environment.
My connection to Hawaii is my birth place and through the Hula. I have been a resident of the Big Island for 22 years and dancing Hula for 6 years.
I reside in the Kaumana district on the Big Island. Originally, I was born in Honolulu, O'ahu. At this time, my father was a construction worker who built homes on the big island with my grandfather. After building beautiful homes, he decided this was a great place to raise a family. He and my mother moved to Hilo and built our home of 16 yr.
Sustainability, Environmental Awareness and methods on saving and re-using energy efficiently is the topics or ideas that I would like to learn about in this class.
My course work is physical therapy. I am working towards my bachelors degree as well as completing the requirements for the Physical Therapy Program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I have experience in this field from being a volunteer at the Hilo Medical Center, Big Island Physical Therapy, Lehua Physical Therapy and being an aid in a research project concerning factors and the relationship between athletic performance while in pre-season and during the season.
I am interested in traveling, the outdoors, the human anatomy and physiology and trying new food. I love to eat!
The one behavior I would change in my life to limit my impact on the environment is being more efficient with recycling. For example, separating rubbish in my home, purchase re-usable grocery bags and energy saving light bulb and continue to be engaged with the environment and its concerns after this course.
