Of course, I am especially proud because I do a lot of work with Volcano Island Honey! Volcano Island Honey Co. (VIHC) was recognized for its ongoing commitment to social and environmental principles in business as the winner of this year’s Kuleana Award. The Kuleana Award is presented each year at the Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce Kuleana Green Business & Environment Conference. Read the full story here.

We are so fortunate here on the Big Island to have the State’s best Green Business Conference! This year the Kuleana Green Business Conference has been merged with the Kona-Kohala Chamber’s Annual Environmental Conference so all of those great people and great ideas will be in the same room. The keynote speaker this year is Patricia Aburdene author of Megatrends 2010- The Rise of Conscious Capitalism. The conference is on April 23rd. Register Now!

Susan Cox is the woman behind the green cape- the real life Green Power Woman whose imagination had fueled Green Power Girl, and the Green Power Heroes.
