Good stuff - Free trees!
Did you know that Friday is Arbor Day? I know because I’ve been hearing about the free tree giveaway every time I turn on the TV or radio lately. Our electric supplier, Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO) is giving away trees and providing expert advice on selecting the right trees and planting them in the right places.
(Sorry - that’s not really clickable. I tried!)
What do trees have to do with an electric company? HECO promotes wise energy usage. Properly placed shade trees can keep your house cooler and contribute to your overall plan to reduce your carbon footprint. Very cool way to do it, too. For my local readers, check out free trees at HECO for times and locations. Plan now on getting out early Saturday to grab the best tree! Rumor has it that the trees are usually snatched up within an hour or so, so skip the second cup of coffee and get there early!
In other good news: Surf’s up! Yeeeeeha! It’s at “fun surf” levels - knee to chest high - so the pros won’t be excited, but it’s safe for tourists and pretty much anyone else with a board. Have I mentioned that though I don’t surf I really enjoy watching the beautiful bronze boys and girls doing their amazing thing on the waves? People-watching at its finest!
