Food Waste at UH: Heather Fucini, UH Food Recovery Network President
We know there’s a lot of food going to waste in this world, and we also know that many of us are undernourished or just plain hungry. It’s an imbalance no one has seemed able to resolve on a global level, but we can at least make a difference in our own communities. That’s what drives Heather Fucini is the president of the University of Hawaii Food Recovery Network, which gathers surplus food from the UH campus and delivers it to those who need it most.

Save Manoa Valley, DLNR meeting regarding Paradise Park: Dale Kobayashi
Questions have been raised lately about the value of the City’s neighborhood boards, and truth be told, most of us don’t give them much thought until an issue surfaces within a community… that’s what has happened in M?noa’s, where some residents, in the wake of a unanimous vote from their neighborhood board have formed an organization called Save M?noa’s Valley to combat a proposed development on the Paradise Park site in the back of the valley. The Department of Land and Natural Resources, DLNR, is holding a hearing today on a proposal that would allow 430-thousand visitors a year and 24 buses a day. Dale Kobayashi, chair of the Mano’a Neighborhood Board, gave us the background to the protest in a conversation we recorded yesterday.
