Silver Stairs is a spot where people go to jump off the wall into the ocean. It is also a place many surfers paddle to since it’s easier to get back to the beach. This is a very popular spot for locals since not many tourists know about it. Photo by Trustan Kekauoha 2017.

Over 15 students from across the island showed up at Honolulu Hale on Nov.14 to support Bill 40. The students gathered hundreds of signatures from classmates to create the over 60-foot-long document they refer to as “The Scroll” and presented it at the hearing. Wilson Tran, a Junior at Kalani High School and head of Kalani’s Green Team believes the students efforts were successful. “It was more than just that, and the poster exemplified this, he said. It was a showing of powerful youth support and just how much influence people can have in large numbers. It was a check on our city officials for one thing, but in the bigger picture it was saying that we want a future.” Photo by Lucy Fagan 2019.

The climate strike drew many students including Kalani High School’s Alison OConner, Amika Matteson, and Alana Miguel. Going to the climate strike and seeing all these people organizing for change made me feel hopeful and proud that there are lots of people who do care about the earth even if there’s also so many who don’t, Matteson shared. Photo by Lucy Fagan 2019.
