URGING A TRANSITION TO A PLANT-BASED LIFESTYLE.

This Senate resolution urges the State of Hawaii and its agencies to transition toward a plant-based lifestyle that prioritizes fruits, vegetables, and sustainable building materials. The measure highlights the potential benefits of this shift for human health, animal welfare, and the environment, citing support from major medical organizations and studies on climate change. It specifically encourages practices that align with traditional Hawaiian values, such as protecting the land and restoring local food systems. The resolution is non-binding and does not create new laws, but instead formally requests that copies be sent to state officials and county mayors to raise awareness of the issue.
