Description:

As one of the most geographically isolated places in the world, Hawaii has much to gain by transforming itself into a self-sufficient, resilient community equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. More Renewable Energy Less harm to our communities and the environment. The Problem Energy in Hawaii not only represents one of the largest expenses for businesses and residents, it also contributes toward carbon emissions and direct impacts to the environment. More Clean Transportation Driving awareness and use of clean modes of transportation. The Problem The majority of Hawaii’s fossil fuels is used to move people and goods, with ground transportation accounting for 27% of the state’s total petroleum usage and 53% of greenhouse gas emissions. More Local Food Greater self-sufficiency and resilience. The Problem With Hawaii importing nearly 90% of its food, our island communities are at risk of food insecurity resulting from events beyond our control, such as major hurricanes or shipping delays. More Freshwater, Less Waste Improved stewardship of our most precious resource, and finding innovative ways to reduce waste and reuse old materials. The Problem Failing to be effective stewards of freshwater resources and better manage and reduce waste has direct impacts on the environment, wildlife and our communities.
