Aloha ʻĀina E hoʻolohe mai i ke aʻo! Hoʻēmi, hoʻohana, hoʻopōaiapuni! Heed the teachings! Reduce, reuse, and recycle! We all remember our parents and grandparents were so thrifty. They would remind us all the time to take care of what we have and not to waste. In these times, their words remain relevant! Our Mālama bags are a start! Reusable for multiple uses, especially when shopping or carrying things between islands. We use them when we gather kinolau from the forest and deliver fresh fish from shore to our mauka ʻohana. Each design is bold and pretty, but also carries the stories of our kūpuna. While using them, remember what they taught us, relive the stories they told, and best of all, live the thrifty lives as they once did!
