Summary: http://governor.hawaii.gov/sustainable-hawaii-initiative/
Hawai‘i is blessed with thousands of species of plants, birds, fish, marine mammals, and other wildlife found nowhere else on earth. Today, these unique species, and the ecosystems on which they depend, are in peril. We know the limits of our natural environment. We see the impacts of our actions very close to home. We are a microcosm of our planet earth. Like the Hawaiian Voyaging Canoe, we are one canoe, one island, one planet.
We in Hawai‘i have established ambitious goals for sustainability through the Aloha+ Challenge, which sets concrete measurable targets for both public and private sectors.
As part of this effort, Governor Ige is proud to announce the Sustainable Hawai‘i Initiative.
