Sustainable Education

What is Sustainability?

This question sparked Trevor Tanaka’s six-year sustainability journey. Through his efforts, the Hawaii Senate and House of Representatives passed a Sustainability Resolution (in just six months). The Resolution requires every public school student to have access to sustainable education so they can be part of the solution, get green jobs and help build a sustainable Hawaii.

Sustainable Hawaii Toolkit is an online resource guide for youth, educators, business and the community organizations to work together to build a sustainable Hawaii. From learning tools to videos and a matching system,it aims to connect business green jobs and community with volunteers.
