NYE fires, deaths spike in Hawaii: Do officials care about illegal fireworks? β€œI don’t know why, but the smuggling of fireworks has not been historically, greatly investigated,” defense attorney and former prosecutor Megan Kau said. β€œSomething has to,…

Fireworks scorch the earth, pollute the air, frighten animals, and endanger lives. With global warming, wildfires, and pollution worsening, it’s time to ban fireworks in favor of sustainable celebrations. Let’s protect our planet and communities.

Spent the day cruising offshore the Big Island. Spotted some booby birds and spinner dolphins and took some time to clean up trash from the ocean. Always feels good to give back to the place we love. #BoobyBirds #Birds #Dolphins #OceanCleanUp #KeepItBlue #WildlifeWatching
