Sustain Hawaii – Balancing Present & Future Needs

Help Make Hawaii Sustainable.

Communities across Hawai`i are confronting many quality-of-life challenges that accompany rapid growth. At the same time our elected leaders are struggling to make informed decisions about local agriculture, economy, environment, land-use, housing, education and energy-decisions that will affect all of our futures.

In 2005, the Hawai`i State Legislature created the Hawai`i 2050 Sustainability Task Force to review the current state planning process and to create a sustainability plan that will guide future policy to ensure a desirable and sustainable environment, community and economy in Hawai`i for future generations.

During February and March, the Hawai`i 2050 Sustainability Task Force is engaging as many residents as possible to participate in meaningful discussion to develop this plan for a sustainable Hawai`i.

If you are concerned about the future of Hawai`i, please take a moment to share your ideas with the Hawai`i 2050 Task Force. Everyone is invited to provide input into the development of the Hawai`i 2050 Sustainability plan.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:1. COMPLETE the online survey available at: http://hawaii2050.org/survey.php
