We now face undeniable climate and natural resource challenges on a global scale as never before. What can we do as individuals, at the local level, to become a part of a solution that will have positive global outcomes? What can we learn from sister communities that face similar resource challenges? Who will become the leaders to help us realize new lifestyles, new priorities, and new ways of working together? What legacy will we pass on to future generations?

 There is a natural, intelligent way of living that we have almost forgotten. A native way of being in-tune with our unique home planet. All over the world people are looking across national boundaries to discover and share intelligent, immediate and long-range strategies that will help solve our common challenges.  The motivation to think smarter and act wiser as intentional earth stewards has never been stronger. 

One Island has opened its sustainable living center to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas that can equip us with powerful tools to transform our lives and our society in positive ways.

 One Island is a non-profit education center sponsored by Heritage Ranch, Inc. Founded in 2004, Heritage Ranch hosts multi-generation education, renewable energy, and rural economic development programs in four western states. The flagship One Island Center has opened in Honaunau, Hawaii. Another is currently being developed on Whidbey Island in the Pacific Northwest.
