Students from schools across multiple islands created the Pledge To Our Keiki<\/a>, a commitment to respect and care for the places that they call home so future generations can continue to enjoy all that Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> is.<\/p>\n

The Institute for Sustainability and Resilience<\/a> (ISR<\/abbr>) at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa has partnered with Kanu Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> to promote these shared values by creating the landing page for Pledge To Our Keiki. Â鶹´«Ã½students, faculty and staff are encouraged to sign the pledge to lend their voices and support to protect Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> for generations to come.<\/p>\n

“We want to encourage our UH<\/abbr> Mānoa community to give back through volunteerism during the month of April in celebration of Earth Day,” said Makena Coffman<\/strong>, director of ISR<\/abbr>. “This is also an important opportunity to raise awareness about the Pledge to our Keiki—which is about making a commitment to sustainability for Â鶹´«Ã½.<\/span>”<\/p>\n

Pledge To Our Keiki is part of an initiative to celebrate Earth Month, with events scheduled throughout April. Earth Day, on April 22, will culminate with leaders across Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> signing the pledge at the Capitol.<\/p>\n

The pledge provides participants with volunteer opportunities<\/a> across the islands with events such as beach cleanups, loʻi<\/span> workdays, mentorship programs and more.<\/p>\n

ISR<\/abbr> was created to share interdisciplinary education, research and outreach related to climate change, environmental sustainability and community resilience in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> and abroad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
