E16 Growing Aloha: Trash to Treasure ~ Scrappahz Union 96792

"Like Scrap?!" LET'S GOOOO! Out of Wesside O'ahu comes a grassroots Hawaiian innovation & youth movement that's award-winning & legacy building. Kumu Mikala Piper & student leader Jeremiah Magallones share how their high school is transforming waste into wealth while healing both land & lāhui (community).What makes this conversation especially moving is hearing how personal transformation happens alongside environmental innovation. Jeremiah shares his journey from being "kolohe" (mischievous) after losing his father at age 11 to finding purpose thru cultural connection. Meanwhile, Kumu Piper reveals how her students--many lost parents & face significant hardship--have become her "aloha heroes" thru overcoming, resilience & service to others.Discover how traditional Hawaiian wisdom offers solutions to modern environmental challenges, & how a group of determined Wesside teens are changing their community one cardboard box at a time.
