'ĀINA GUARDIAN

‘Āina Guardians are keiki that are curious in the kitchen, resourceful in their sustainable gardens, students of their kūpuna, guardians of the ‘āina and helpful in their community.

As an EAT PONO ‘Āina Guardian, together with Poet Gentry, I pledge to:​

  • carry a reusable water bottle

  • recycle plastics that I use and avoid single use plastics

  • throw my garbage in the trash and never litter

  • plant a garden  

  • practice kindness in my community

  • learn about culture and traditions from my kūpuna

  • be curious and try new foods and upcycle excess food scraps

  • say “no thanks” to sugary drinks

  • get outside and play (exercise) everyday

  • mālama sustainable living and healthy food choices

The ‘Āina Guardian Program is designed to be a supplemental learning program / activity in a standardized classroom or at-home learning setting. Thus far, the ‘Āina Guardian program has partnered with: Hawaii Farm to School Hui, Hawaii Foodbank, Outrigger Hotels and Resorts, Punahou School, HECO and HMSA. Reach out for more ways to incorporate the 'Āina Guardian workbook into your sustainability efforts.
