ThinkTech Hawaii

Chicago and Honolulu, the Uneven Pair. The host for this show is Martin Despang.
Previous 'human[e] architecture' investigations have identified that Honolulu’s skyscraping skyline borrows much from Chicago, from architectural articulation to authorship. Both cities fronting water, this series of episodes investigates the most recent development in Chicago and their relation to and relevance for Honolulu. DOM Publisher’s 'Chicago Architectural Guide' gives orientation and inspiration for Martin Despang’s scavenger hunt in Chicago in May 2022. It refreshes previous impressions and eye witnessing memories of DeSoto Brown and Martin Despang from combined from the 60’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s. The show is making the viewers recollect, update or initiate their substantiated image of Honolulu’s fellow Windy City as to what to learn from and what not to.

Invasive Species a Unique Opportunity. The host for this show is Keli'i Akina. The guest is Bryan Mayer.
Hawaii’s goal of advancing agriculture and food sustainability cannot happen in a vacuum. Deliberate action must be taken to identify and remove roadblocks to profitable local food production.
Hawai'i already has a thriving cattle ranches, but invasive species such as Maui’s Axis deer pose a unique opportunity as an additional source of meat products.
Problem is, there is no state meat inspection system. However, nationally recognized educator and butcher Bryan Mayer thinks that might be just what Hawai'i needs, in addition to adopting other policies to fulfill Hawaii's meat-producing potential.
On today’s episode of 'Hawaii Together,' host Keli'i Akina speaks with Mayer about the state of Hawaii’s meat industry, how Hawaii’s Axis deer and other invasive animals fit into the situation, and some of the other challenges the industry will need to address.

Recycling and Energy, Million Can Prodigy. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Genshu Price.
At the ripe age of 14, Genshu Price launched a recycling revolution. He's generating funds to pay tuition for kids older than himself. He's branching into other fields of giving. The sky's the limit.
If you have doubts about the HI-5 bottle deposit program, consider this: On O'ahu, before HI-5 went into effect in January 2005, the landfill diversion rate was 41 percent, according to the state Department of Health’s Office on Solid Waste Management. In other words, about three-fifths of all of O'ahu’s municipal solid waste went to the Waimanalo Gulch landfill.
Since then, more than 4.2 billion beverage containers have been recycled through the program, the waste office says, which helped increase the overall diversion rate to 72 percent. It’s not just HI-5, of course. The diversion rate includes many other recycled materials, plus waste sent to H-Power, the incinerator that turns trash into electricity and generates about 6 to 8 percent of O'ahu’s power.
