Welcome, Mama
If you know the social networking site Twitter, you know how easy it is to make new friends. (Come on over and make friends with me at Twitter or FriendFeed to join in the fun.) One of those new friends, who goes by the moniker LaMama Naturale over at her blog Recycle Your Day, is going to Kaua’i soon; it’ll be her first time to the islands, and her little one’s first-ever plane ride.As you can tell by the title, Recycle Your Day is a site that’s dedicated to green living, and in the post Save Kauai, LaMama addresses an important facet of traveling to my favorite place in the world: the environment is important, even while we’re on vacation. She reminds us that even a vacation is the time to reuse, reduce, and recycle, just like Hawaiian Jack Johnson sings. She plans to pack in, pack out when possible; that’s a good and admirable practice for us all.
I’ve written a few posts about green travel, and b5 media’s own Liz Lewis writes the blog Traveling the Green Way.
Here’s wishing LaMama Naturale a great trip to the islands. I know she’ll be hooked.

When we went to Maui a couple of months ago I was very happy to see that our hotel had recycling bins at each elevator bank. Do you know if this is pretty common at most Hawaii hotels or if it’s something that’s just getting started?

Hi Heather! It seems to be a mixed bag as of right now. Many of the condo resorts have them, as do a lot of the bigger beaches, near the access point and at the picnic shelters. I haven’t been paying attention at the hotels, however. Thanks for raising awareness about that!
Wow! Tomorrow, we leave for Kauai…ALOHA! | Recycle Your Day
