Ua mana'o au e hana maika'i ana au me ka'u mau ma'amau pili kaiaola—ho'ohana au i ka mau'u metala, lawe mai i ka'u mau 'eke i ka hale kū'ai, a poina au i ko'u mau kamaa hooikaika kino ma mua o ko'u hue wai hiki ke hoohana hou 'ia ke hele i ka hale ha'uki. kahi kamaʻilio hou me kahi hoa hana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ka hapanui o nā ʻōpala mea kūʻai mai ka meaʻai a me ka ʻūlū ʻana; ʻo ka maʻalahi o nā ʻeke i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, ka wahī paʻa, a me ka palaka hoʻohana hoʻokahi e hoʻopiha ana i nā landfill a kau i kahi kānana i kā mākou kumuwaiwai.

Ua ʻike au i ka hele ʻana i kēia pilikia ʻo ke kī i koʻu kūleʻa ʻo ka mākaukau. Me ka Lion King mele i paʻa i loko o koʻu poʻo, ua ʻūlū au i kaʻu ʻeke hana i ke kakahiaka mua me kaʻu ʻaina awakea, kahi kāhei lole, mauʻu metala, mug kope huakaʻi, a me kekahi mau ʻeke hoʻohana hou ʻia. No ka ʻaina kakahiaka i kēia mau lā, makemake au i ka yogurt vegan me ka granola akā ua hana ka ipu plastik i kēlā koho ma waho o ka nīnau, no laila ua hopu wau i ka maiʻa ma ke ala i waho o ka puka. Kūʻai wau i kope i loko o kaʻu ʻāpana huakaʻi a hana i kaʻu pākaukau me ka ʻōpala ʻole. Pōmaikaʻi!

Ma hope o ka hana, ua kū wau ma Whole Foods, i mau ʻeke hiki ke hoʻohana hou ʻia. Hoʻomaka mua: ʻāpana hana. ʻO ka maʻamau, hoʻolālā wau i kaʻu mau meaʻai ma mua o koʻu hele ʻana i ka hale kūʻai akā ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu kahi e loaʻa ai nā lua, no laila ua hoʻoholo wau e ʻēheu. Ua lālau wau i nā lemona, nā ʻoma, maiʻa, ʻaka, ʻomaʻomaʻo, a me nā ʻōmato. ʻO nā ʻōpala wale nō i hana ʻia nā pepili-helu. Ua hoʻonui ʻia kahi pipiʻi hou aku-no ka mea-he-aniani-ipu o ka tahini i ke kaʻa a laila hele wau i nā ʻōpala nui.

Ua lawe mai wau i kekahi mau ipu aniani me nā poʻi no kēia hanana. Ua kaupaona au i kaʻu mau ipu ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana e hoʻopiha i nā momi couscous a me nā pīni garbanzo. Kaupaona hou au akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi ala e unuhi ai i ka paona jar. Ua hopu au i kekahi limahana no ka wehewehe ʻana i koʻu pale ʻana i ka plastic a ua ʻoi aku ka nui o kaʻu mau ipu aniani ma kahi o ka hapalua paona ma mua o nā hale kūʻai a makemake wau i kāna kōkua e paʻi i kahi lepili kumukūʻai. Ua huhū loa ʻo ia ʻaʻole wau e hoʻohana wale i nā pahu plastik liʻiliʻi i hāʻawi ʻia e ka hale kūʻai. ʻAʻole anei ke kiko holoʻokoʻa o nā pahu nui e hōʻalo i ka palekiko? Ua noʻonoʻo wau iaʻu iho. ʻO ka hope, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e ʻike paha ka mākaʻi pehea e kōkua ai i kona holo wikiwiki ʻana.

ʻO ka pilikia nui i ka hana ʻole ʻana i ka ʻōpala ʻoiai ke kūʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai ʻo ka ʻiʻo a me ka waiu. Ma waho aʻe o kahi $6 no kēlā me kēia lawelawe ʻana i ka yogurt artisanal i loko o kahi hue aniani (ke hoʻāʻo nei au i ka ʻōpala ʻole, ʻaʻole koena koena i loko o kaʻu waihona panakō), ʻaʻohe yogurt ʻaʻole i loko o nā ipu plastik a ʻaʻohe yogurt kumulāʻau. ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā lawelawe o kēlā me kēia. ʻAʻohe hiki ʻole i ka tī ke ʻike i ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi i loko o ka saran a i loko o kahi ʻeke ea. ʻO ka hopena eco-friendly loa i hiki iaʻu ke ʻike, ʻo ke kūʻai ʻana i nā palaka, ma kahi o ka wā mua, i ka nui nui i loaʻa. Ua kūʻai mai au i kahi ʻāpana nui o ka tī kao kūloko a hoʻolālā e waiho i ka ʻāpana o nā ʻūpā i loko o kaʻu ipu ʻōpala. ʻO ka hoʻomaha hope loa ma kēia huakaʻi kūʻai pau ʻole: ka deli counter.Ma laila wau i ʻike ai ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo e lawe i kahi ipu no ka ʻiʻo (OMG makemake nui ʻia ka hoʻolālā mua no hoʻokahi huakaʻi freaking e kūʻai i nā meaʻai), ua kūʻai aku au i hoʻokahi paona moa sausa moa a nānā aku i nā limahana e wahī ana i ka pepa mai kahi pahu i ʻōlelo ʻia mai ka pepa i hana hou ʻia.

ʻOi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi hola a me $60 ma hope mai, ua hana wau i waho o Whole Foods me ka ʻole o ka pōʻino a puhi ʻia i ke kaniʻuhū. Ma mua o ka hahau ʻana i nā alaloa e hopu ana i ka mea aʻu e makemake ai, ua nānā pono wau i kēlā me kēia hoʻoholo a me ka nui o nā ʻōpala e hana a inā he kūpono a hewa paha kaʻu mau koho (ma mua o ko lākou olakino.)

ʻO ke kakahiaka aʻe ʻo ia ka Pōʻaono no laila ua hele au i ka Hale Kūʻai ʻo Farmer ma kahi kokoke i koʻu hale noho. Kūʻai au i ka ʻuala ʻula, kale, radishes, kāloti, a me nā hua manu kūloko.

I ka hala ʻana o ka pule ua aʻo wau i nā mea paʻakikī e hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia nā ʻano paʻa.
