In early 2007, Honolulu's Energy and Sustainability Task Force was formed to develop a 10-year plan to make the city even more energy efficient and sustainable.
The objectives of the task force are to:
1) Examine current technology and improve upon existing practices to make the city more energy efficient and sustainable;
2) Identify new technologies and practices that can be used to improve city operations by maximizing energy efficiency, reducing waste and protecting the environment;
3) Adhere to the mayor's vision of the 21st Century Ahupua'a and its driving principles;
4) Align with the U.S. Conference of Mayor's Climate Control Agreement of 2004 advocating the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; and
5) Develop a 10-year plan with goals and benchmarks in the areas of:
o Energy Conservation
o Fuel and Transportation
o Material Recovery and Recycling
o Water Conservation
o Watershed Protection and Management
o Sustainable Agriculture
o Innovation Urban Forestry
o Education and Outreach
