PAUL HEPPERLY TALKS SCHEDULE AND BIO

Topic: Path to Planetary Abundance; the 3 E’s, Energy, Economics & Environment: What We Eat & How We Produce it.

Aloha, this is Clare Apana.
Last year, I asked my friend, Dr. Paul Hepperly, if he could help us in Hawaii. He helped Ghana and Uruguay regenerate their soils, San Francisco start a citywide food-scraps-to-compost program, and has researched biological solutions for greenhouse gas pollution. So why not our precious aina? Read about some of the ways he has been working to save our environment and food in the attachments I included.

He did it. He created a plan for regenerating lands like the pineapple and sugar cane fields into lands that will produce fuel, food, soil amendments and best of all, make money that stays in Hawaii, while creating jobs that can last past the next shopping center, hotel, condo or railroad. He is making his expertise in organic farming available to Hawaii farmers and has already spoken on Maui and Big Island pro bono.

He is doing these talks to educate and inspire us, but also to find a way to change the way we think about doing agriculture in Hawaii. If you can make it to any of the lectures or radio shows, come to support Dr. Hepperly. He is offering Hawaii a solution that brings us good things all the way around--healthier food, products that can increase our local economy, and honoring and improving our beloved 'aina.

I will be there so come and meet him and ask him some hard questions--he is a wealth of information and solutions.

If you can forward this to friends you feel would like to hear a real dollars-and-sense kind of solution for Hawaii, please help me spread the word. We need a lot more of these kinds of solutions.
Malama pono,
Clare Apana
