What should Hawaii be like in 2050?

Last Saturday, the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Task Force released a draft of the Hawaii 2050 Sustainability Plan.

The draft is now available for comment on the Hawaii 2050 website (download and read it here) and community meetings are scheduled to happen on six islands next month. You can also comment directly through the website.

Following your comments this fall, the draft will be revised and presented to the legislature in 2008.

For the future of Hawaii, Hawaii 2050 hopes to hear from you!
