Sustainability
- Excerpt: "To ensure this enviable land remains fruitful for our children, their children and so on, we must preserve the aina. Sustainability will be key to maintaining the land which in recent years has seen a steady increase in population and industrialization. Appropriate use and conservation of resources is a positive transition Chris hopes can alleviate pressure currently being put on our prized ecosystem."
Labor
