Island-Style Activism


Kanu Hawaii is a social movement that practices island-style activism — changing ourselves first, then leading by example — to transform Hawaii into a model of environmental, economic, and social well-being for the world. Learn more

Anyone who feels some connection to the Kanu vision and who is willing to make a change in their own life is invited to join the Kanu community. Here's how it works:


  1. Make at least one challenging commitment to bring your own life closer in line with the Hawaii we want to see. When that becomes a habit, make new ones. Have at least one challenging commitment at all times.


  2. Invite others to join you in your commitment or to make their own commitments. Taken together, our commitments have a significant impact.


  3. Lead by example and pursue change in your community, in business practices, and in public policy to make the vision a reality.

So far, 2,336 of us have made 12,437 personal commitments to improve our Hawaii.
