SR 87 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

REQUESTING THE HAWAIʻI CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION COMMISSION TO CONDUCT AN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM REGARDING THE ACTIVITIES OF INDIVIDUALS THAT CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE.

This Senate resolution requests the Hawaiʻi Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission to create an educational program that helps individuals understand which personal habits contribute most to climate change. The program aims to clarify common misconceptions about lifestyle choices, such as recycling or diet, by highlighting actions with the highest impact on carbon emissions. It specifically asks the commission to use printed materials and to work with the Department of Health to distribute this information to the public. As a non-binding request, the bill does not mandate funding or enforce specific actions but serves to encourage the commission to focus on individual behavior in its climate education efforts.
