2010 HonuGuide Helps Raise Funds & Awareness with Hawaii's First and Only Green Fundraising Option.
 
With over $4,000 in community coupons and 80 pages of educational resources, the 2010 HonuGuide (www.honuguide.com) is helping raise funds for local schools and non-profits, while building a local, green economy in Hawaii.
 
Hawaii imports 80-90 percent of the its food and fuel. If the ships stop coming then five days from now people in Hawaii will have no food to eat and no fuel for the city.  As an island community building a local living economy is not only a good idea, it's something that we need to start seriously working towards. Sometimes taking the first step is the most difficult, especially when we have no one to lead the way. "With the 2010 HonuGuide you not only get help to make the first step towards sustainability, you save money along the way," states HonuGuide founder Tyler Mongan. 
 
In its second year of publishing, the HonuGuide has grown to 180 pages of resources and coupons, with 35 local leaders contributing educational content. Inside the guide you will discover practical ideas for creating a sustianable future for Hawaii. Sections include: Aina to Table, Zero Waste, Natural Resources, Living Economy, Healthy Island and Healthy Body, and Taking Action.
 
As if the information was not valuable enough, the 2010 HonuGuide has over 150 coupons from over 140 participating organizations. You can save $45 alone in coupons at participating grocers, making the HonuGuide a smart purchase at only $20. You will also find free food and activites inside this years guide.
 
But the HonuGuide is not just another coupon book, rather it's a model of sustainability. The community is offered educational information and coupon incentives to support local, green business in Hawaii. In turn the community supports local, green businesses because they commit to engaging in green business practices and supporting the local economy. And schools and non-profits have access to a unique and valuable fundraising tool. Everyone in Hawaii benefits and prospers.

"We want to make fundraising easy, valuable, educational, and we want fundraisers to support the local economy and help build a better Hawaii.  We created the HonuGuide with this in mind," notes Tyler Mongan.
