Driving my 2019 Tesla now means I deserve dirty looks, rude hand gestures, and more 😔. Purchased this car before Elon was went certifiably crazy. Amazon anti Elon bumper stickers ordered and on the way for a hall pass. Want to switch to another EV brand, suggestions ?

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. www.khon2.com/local-news/n...

Our inaugural haul of the year, its estimated 15-20 tons of marine trash are being washed up on the shores of Hawaii every year, 96% of which is composed of plastic material.

Trying out Bluesky, but why are there so many bots, inappropriate messages, and people pitching services—even though my bio clearly says I don’t respond to DMs? Feeling ready to drop out.

It was a birthday at the beach kind of weekend with my kids and their babies. Nothing better than family time

The nene, Hawaii’s state bird, is endemic to the Hawaiian islands. Believed to have evolved from Canada geese over 500,000 years ago. I captured these shots while on Kauai.

Good night, Kona. Your sunsets are always a breathtaking masterpiece.

It’s hard to believe that despite Hawaii being the most isolated landmass in the world, over 30 tons of trash have been found in its waters in such a short time.

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

Yellow Footed Boobies, Red Footed Boobies and Blue Footed Boobies are attracted to my boat, sometimes even hanging on the boat for the 170 mile journey from the Big Island to Oahu. #birds #seabirds #hawaii #wildlife #birders
