“With the emergence of more locally grown foods, expanded recycling programs, a push to develop alternatives to fossil fuel and utilization of other sustainable practices, there is an opportunity to create new ‘green’ jobs on Kaua‘i,” said Diane Zachary, KPAA president and CEO.
“Private sector action will need to be supported by government policies at every level.”
An overview of KPAA programs, including the Kalalau Trail restoration project, will also be on the agenda.
