Keep Maui Green
Keep
Maui Green
Maintaining a green
lifestyle has become increasingly important in the Hawaiian Islands. With a
limited amount of space on each island, local governments have launched
initiatives to increase the awareness of what can be done to reduce, reuse and
recycle the size of each island’s landfills. Hawaii Public Radio has launched a
series of blog posts that list resources as well as up to date information on
the issue of recycling in the Hawaiian Islands (http://hpr2.org/topic/trashing-paradise).
Maui is encouraging
its inhabitants to lessen their footprint and look for alternative methods of
dealing with waste. In the 2015 Green Issue of the Maui Time (4/16/15, vol. 18,
issue 44), they feature the debate for and against the county’s proposed
waste-to-energy facility. If current projections stay on track, Maui could
receive its own waste-to-energy facility in 2017. This type of plant would
convert raw waste products into different types of fuel products. By doing so,
this would take pressure off the Maui landfills and begin generating revenue
for the county of Maui. The debates are focused on deciding if such a project
is sustainable in this environment. All of these discussions further the
awareness of how important recycling and reusable energy is becoming on Maui.
