Following the release of the updated Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan and the progression of bills in the legislature, college campuses are fully engaged in discussions and activities to implement sustainable initiatives. Students and faculty in all academic disciplines seek to better understand how they can work toward a sustainable Hawaii. Still, a gap exists between the academic community discussing Sustainability and those politicians or practitioners implementing it
This public forum bridges the gap between sustainable practitioners and academics. The event will start with a short (30 minute) film screening of the film Huliau, based on the book 50 Simple Things You Can Do To Save Hawaii. This film is meant to be a catalyst for discussion and to motivate people about the issue of sustainability in Hawaii. Following the film will be a panel discussion amongst some of Hawaii's leading sustainable practitioners to highlight the importance of political activism and the role students and community should play in political activism in order to support this paradigm shift in Hawaii's future.
