Episode: Forum 1 - Overview of Sustainability
Posted on Mar 09, 2007
Producer: ʻŌleloThis first forum, "Overview of Sustainability: What is it? What's in it for Business?", was conducted on January 26, 2007 and featured a panel discussion with David Cole of Maui Land and Pineapple, Mitch D'Olier of Kane'ohe Ranch and the Harold K. Castle Foundation, and Robbie Alm of Hawaiian Electric Company. These breakfast seminars are a partnership between HB and HIPA, the Hawaii Institute for Public Affairs, and take a look at what Hawaii will look like in the year 2050, and how we can achieve sustainability to make sure the Hawaii we know and love is still around. The forums allow you to look at questions like: how do our actions today impact the future we will have tomorrow and will we be leaving a better Hawaii for future generations?
