Community education and action in Hawaii to fight climate change.
3rd Saturday Community Service Days at Hamakua Marsh
Join us! DETAILS
Restore Hamakua Marsh
School groups, community groups and individual community members are restoring the watershed at Hamakua Marsh. From keiki to kupuna, they have planted over 2,300 native trees and plants. The trees sequester carbon and more!
Learn about Climate Change
Elementary schools and other groups participate in workshops and talks to learn about climate change, land use change and the impact on native species. 1,200 students taught in last two years. New initiative: NGSS curriculum that is place based and includes climate change.
Cut your Carbon Emissions
Get the biggest bang for your buck! Learn what you do that produces the most emissions, and the easiest ways to reduce emissions.
Influence the Legislature
Hawai'i has commited to becoming carbon neutral by 2045. That requires renewable power, renewable transportation and more trees. Check in during session to support initiatives that will help those commitments become a reality.
