One solution is to create a competition plan to generate profits, and at the same time value the importance of fertilizerfree foods.

Especially, the more the perception of health risks, the easier it will be to demand a good quality of water. Even promote companies with environmental and soluble care.

CULTURE Author: Andrea Alonzo
Hawaiian culture and the aloha spirit WITH AS MUCH AS THERE IS TO BE LEARNED IN THE FIELDS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, THERE IS A BALANCING FORCE THAT PERMEATES LIFE IN HAWAII. IT IS THE ANCIENT WISDOM OF THE HAWAIIAN CULTURE AND THE POWER OF THE ALOHA SPIRIT. THE HAWAIIAN CULTURE — KNOWN FOR ITS GENEROSITY, HOSPITALITY AND WARM SHARING — EMBODIES A GIVING NATURE THAT IS GROUNDED IN THE PRINCIPLE OF RECIPROCITY. WHEN GIVEN, THE HAWAIIAN PEOPLE WILL GIVE BACK IN EQUAL MEASURE OR MORE, BE IT A GIFT OR A SMILE. WE WHO LIVE IN THIS SPECIAL PARADISE, MUST HELP SUPPORT AND PRESERVE THE HAWAIIAN CULTURE AND LANGUAGE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. THE SPIRIT OF ALOHA CONTAINS MUCH WISDOM AND COMPASSION.

Lokahi in health and healing AS MODERN DAY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, WE RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF TREATING OUR PATIENTS AS WHOLE INDIVIDUALS – BODY, MIND, SPIRIT – IN CONTEXT WITH THEIR FAMILY, THEIR CULTURE, AND THEIR COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, WE HERE IN HAWAII ALSO HAVE LEARNED ANOTHER IMPORTANT LESSON — THAT OF THE BALANCE OF MIND, BODY, SPIRIT, NATURE AND COMMUNITY. THIS CONCEPT IS KNOWN ASLOKAHI AND WAS THE BASIS FOR THIS ANCIENT, YET ADVANCED SOCIETY THAT LIVED IN HARMONY WITH THEIR LAND, THEMSELVES, AND EACH OTHER. BODY– THE IMPORTANCE OF THE PHYSICAL PLANT AND LAYOUT. HOSPITALS USED TO BE LIKENED TO “WAREHOUSES” FOR SICK BODIES, OR “GARAGES” FOR MACHINES THAT WERE BREAKING DOWN. MIND– THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ELEMENTS OF INTERIOR SPACES, AND THEIR EFFECTS ON OUR EMOTIONAL WELL BEING, COMFORT LEVELS, FEELINGS OF SAFETY, PRIVACY, RESPECT. SPIRIT- THE IMPORTANCE OF THE INTANGIBLE, OF HONORING OUR PAST AND THE HAWAIIAN HOST CULTURE, AND EACH INDIVIDUAL'S BASIC HUMAN DIGNITY AND/OR PERSONAL SPIRITUAL PRACTICES. NATURE- THE HEALING FORCES OF THE BEAUTY OF NATURE THAT SURROUNDS US. COMMUNITY- THE IMPORTANCE OF RELATIONSHIPS (WITH SELF AND OTHERS) CULTURAL SENSITIVITIES, OF BEING CLOSE TO HOME. THESE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF A LOKAHI – BODY, MIND, SPIRIT, NATURE, COMMUNITY IN BALANCE — INFLUENCE AND OVERLAP TO BRING ABOUT A TOTAL HEALING ENVIRONMENT.
