  • Food

    We take food for granted, but where and how it is grown, how it is transpored and consumed, and how it is disposed of all become very important when on a desserted island.

  • Transport

    All things transportation. Getting from point A to point B is easy. It's when going to point Z that the impact on the local and global environment becomes apparent.

  • Sustain

    No island is an island, and the influence of our presence in this world can be felt culturally, biologically, environmentally, and economically.

  • Drink

    Water, water, everywhere. The most precious and necessary resource for living. What is the balance of water, alcohol, and kava on our island?

  • Build

    Nothing is built for free, and costs are measured not only in currency, but also in time, resources, and environmental and cultural footprint.

  • Waste

    What do we throw away? Out of sight but not out of mind, because some of the trash we throw away will be around for generations.

  • Technology

    The promise of technology is that it's supposed to make our lives easier, the world safer, and improve life for those that it touches. How is technology affecting the Tribe and the world at large?
