Islands of Sustainability

What is sustainability?

sus•tain'a•bil'i•ty (noun)

a method of harvesting or using a resource so that it is not depleted or permanently damaged.

What is "Islands of Sustainability"?

"Islands of Sustainability" is an on-going, proactive campaign intended to educate Hawaii's residents and raise awareness of critical environmental issues, the impact the environment has on our State and economy, and the importance of creating a sustainable environment. On KGMB9, KGMB9 News and KGMB9.com, we will share information on many different aspects of sustainability, going far beyond simply being "green." We'll cover environmental concerns that are unique to Hawaii, including infrastructure and land development, renewable energy sources, energy alternatives, and steps we need to take to ensure a sustainable future, not just for ourselves, but for many generations to come.

KGMB9 is proud to be partnering with the Hawaii Institute of Public Affairs and other business and organizations throughout the community to bring this vital information to the people of Hawaii.
