Charlotte (Char) O'Brien, Executive Director of Food Security Hawaii, has dedicated her efforts to finding practical, long term solutions to climate change. On this episode we discuss how bamboo can offer a variety of benefits not only to the environment but to creating affordable and sustainable home solutions.

Char explains what bamboo can do for soil and erosion around the world, and how it has the potential to support local home building by being a local, sustainable supply source.

This episode was recorded in one of the Bamboo Living homes built on Maui and Char explains the craftsmanship that goes into each home.

Listen in to learn how the solutions to be better stewards of the earth are out there waiting for us to take action.
