Healthy Living Cooking Classes at Impact Hub HNL with Down to Earth!

August 7, 2018

If you are interested in learning more about natural foods and healthy eating, Sisi and Maddie from DTE are hosting 2 more classes over the coming months (August 28 and September 25, both at 6pm). This free class gives the community an opportunity to explore simple vegetarian recipes that can be enjoyed as weeknight meals or shared at office potlucks. And there are always yummy samples!

The August 28 class will feature Rainbow Veggie Pinwheels, which are made by wrapping pretty rainbow salad in tortilla smothered with beautiful hot pink beet hummus! Upcoming classes are FREE but do require reservations. Please register in advance here.

Our Kakaako neighborhood is full of awesome places to eat, drink, and be merry. A few months ago we were happy to see that Hawaii-based company Down to Earth opened their largest Oahu store just a few blocks from us.

Down to Earth operates four stores on Oahu and one on Maui, offering a huge selection of organic and natural foods, local produce, and fresh deli offerings. The Kakaako location offers made-to-order sushi, pizza, sandwiches and more, great for a quick bite to eat before, during, or after work.

You can reach the DTE team for questions or to learn more: (808) 947-3249.

Zero-Waste Living Tips for a Plastic Free July

July 11, 2018

Impact Hub HNL is committed to making impact and building community. Each of the 102 Impact Hubs worldwide is committed to turning the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into reality. Plastic Free July addresses Goals 6 and 14 and we are proud to do our part in limiting use of single use plastics in our space, programs, and events.

Luckily, Hawaii is – in many ways – at the forefront of sustainable action. Not only did our plastic bag ban just go into effect in July, Hawaii has been one of the leaders in trying to ban styrofoam (polystyrene) and plastic straws for years. While it’s awesome to see so much action on the city and state level, it’s really important to understand the important role individuals have to play when it comes to reducing our consumption of single-use plastics.

This month is Plastic Free July and there is no time like the present to start taking action towards living a more plastic-free life, and our Hub team wants to help you reduce your impact this month (and every month!).

Here are some favorite tips from the Hub team about how to reduce plastic waste at work and at home:

  • Skip bottled water: Use a water filter (reverse osmosis, fridge filter, or even a Brita) to improve the taste and health of your tap water. At Impact Hub HNL we have filtered water on the fridge. Not only does bottled water have low ratings when it comes to safety and taste, Americans throw away about 38 billion plastic water bottles each year (that’s after accounting for recycling!).
  • BYO Cup & Mug: When you go to your favorite coffee shop, bring your own to-go mug. Not only does this keep your coffee warmer longer, it ensures that you’re not wasting the cup, the sleeve, and the lid for each cup you buy. At Impact Hub HNL, we have a huge collection of mugs and cups to use, so whether you’re drinking our free organic coffee & tea or getting it from the neighborhood cafes, we encourage you to use the mugs we have on the shelves. We also have kombucha and nitro cold-brew coffee on tap so you can sip sustainably all day long.
  • Skip the Straws: Unfortunately the straw ban just got kicked out of committee at the Hawaii Legislature, but the expanding ‘Straws Suck’ movement is gaining traction. Straws are unnecessary and often become waste littering our awesome beaches, so as much as possible, ask for NO straws at your next pau hana or lunch date. Remembering to say ‘no straw please’ is a conscious action that feels really good!
  • Support local advocacy groups! We have lots of awesome groups in the islands that are working really hard to reduce plastic waste. Check out beach cleanups from our friends at Surfrider Oahu, Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, and Plastic Free Hawaii by Kokua Hawaii Foundation. And this weekend, July 14, from 12:30pm-5:30pm is the first Oahu Zero-Waste Summit at SALT Kakaako, hosted by Impact Hub HNL member organization Kanu Hawaii!

None of these options – avoiding plastic water bottles or banning straws – are necessarily going to solve our collective plastics pollution problem. But it helps! And knowing that each day you can make a conscious choice as a consumer to vote with your dollars and your actions to avoid single use plastic helps send a message to restaurants, shops, and yes, even government!

Wellness Wednesdays: Powering Up Your Productivity with Wildkraft

April 10, 2018

Wellness Wednesdays are ongoing classes at Impact Hub HNL that allow our multitalented members to share their health and wellness knowledge with our community. To see upcoming events, visit our Facebook events page.


Blair from Wildkraft Herbs

Many of us deal with mid-morning slumps or afternoon crashes. Why do we experience energy crashes of this sort, and how can we improve our productivity throughout the day?

In March we hosted another Wellness Wednesday event called Power Up your Productivity, to help our coworkers and community be their most productive selves. The workshop was taught by Blair Townley, a Western Clinical Herbalist and owner of Wildkraft Apothecary & Clinic, based at Impact Hub HNL.

Blair talked about four areas of optimization in our lives that can help combat the sleepiness, blood sugar crashes, and energy dips: food, sleep, movement, and environment.  She chose this topic because of client needs: “One of the things I see often in clients is need for better focus and clarity, and it’s important to make the connection between diet and lifestyle and our overall energy.”

Her first food tip is to avoid blood sugar spikes by maintaining a healthy diet that reduces simple carbs (like white rice and bread) and instead focuses on fiber-rich vegetables, healthy protein, and healthy fats, which digest slowly for more consistent energy. Blair has lots more tips for healthy blood sugar balancing on her website.

The second main way to keep your productivity high is to ensure you get a good amount of sleep each night. Lack of sleep, even for one night, can lead to impeded memory, reduced multitasking ability, slower creative thinking (thinking outside the box), and can lead to feelings of depression.

To ensure you get enough sleep, blackout your room at night (ie: avoid streetlights, gadget lights, and television), avoiding caffeine after noon (or entirely… scary, I know!), and turning off computers and phones an hour (or more!) before bed.

Other tips for better productivity include getting more movement (if you work here it’s just a five minute walk to the beach), and keeping a clean, organized workspace, which can help your brain feel more free.

If you are seeking further guidance, you can make an appointment with Blair. Wildkraft specializes in plant medicine via custom blended herbal tinctures, teas and tonics made from mostly European and North American plants. Off the shelf offerings include teas and tinctures for immunity, sleep, allergies, grounding, anxiety, depression and digestive support.

You can learn more about Blair’s offerings in this recent clip from KITV Channel 4 news.
