2022 HI Governor's race: on Environment


Josh Green: Press Navy to drain fuel tanks, shut facility for good

I will fight to protect Hawaii's clean water, and my administration will immediately press the U.S. Navy to drain the fuel tanks at Red Hill as quickly and safely as possible, shut the facility down for good, and make sure that leaks and spills of any toxic substances never again threaten the health and safety of our people or our environment.

Kirk Caldwell: Banned single-use plastic items; reduced landfill waste

Kirk's team has made huge strides to make Honolulu a greener city, including bans on single-use plastic items, reducing landfill waste, making H-Power the Oahu's largest provider of renewable energy, installing energy-saving street lighting, and planting tens of thousands of trees. The City acquired miles of shoreline in Kahuku to protect coastal sand dunes. His administration sued to hold major oil companies accountable for climate change impacts that threaten O'ahu.

Andria Tupola: Protect environment by partnering with local orgs

We should take a proactive approach to better understanding our local ecosystem and partner with Hawaiian agricultural practitioners to bring back some of what used to protect our island and its resources. There are many local organizations that work tirelessly to protect our environment and would make great partners for our local government to learn from and better understand how we can protect it.
