33. SUMMER IN HAWAII: Leave No Trace with Charles from HNL Studios

Thank you so much for tuning in to our Summer in Hawaii series! We hope you've enjoyed all the special guests we have had as much as we did. We could not have thought of a better guest to end our Summer in Hawaii series than Charles! Lanai-born and co-founder of HNL Studios, he shares his experiences, knowledge, and insights on what it's like being a local in Hawaii. Although he is not an expert on Leave No Trace, its principles are similar and deeply rooted in the upbringing and culture of Hawaii. Leave No Trace applies not just to Hawaii but all around and world. It is important for us to continue to educate ourselves and do better because minimizing our impact on the planet is becoming more crucial than ever. We only slightly scratched the surface regarding the Leave No Trace principles so please look into the resources below to learn more!
