Hawaii Environmental Change Agents is sponsoring a free online event, entitled, “Environmental Rodeo,” which will update participants on the most significant bills impacting climate change and the environment that are moving through the State Legislature. 

This online event is a follow-up to three previous events.  Specific bills that mitigate climate change and are crucial to a clean and healthy environment will be discussed.   The purpose of this series is to have robust legislation passed in the 2022 legislative session.  

We are happy to announce the participation of three Chairs of legislative committees responsible for climate change and the environment, as follows:

Sen. Mike Gabbard, Chair of the Senate Committee on Agriculture and Environment

• Rep. David Tarnas, Chair of the House Committee on Water and Land

• Rep. Nicole Lowen, Chair of the House Committee on Energy and Environmental Protection, or an alternate

Task forces were formed on the following subjects earlier this year, and they will present updates on their activities:

• Visitor Impact Fee (Green Fee)

• Constitutional Green Amendment

• Carbon Tax

• Decarbonization of State Buildings and Utilities

• Decarbonization of Transportation

• Carbon Sequestration

• Cesspools

• Climate Justice

Climate scientists say that we have less than 10 years to make the drastic changes needed to avoid a global climate catastrophe.  We urge all interested parties to join us to ensure a livable planet for all of us and for future generations.
