RE: S.R. No. 87
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Agriculture and Environment, to which was
referred S.R. No. 87 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAI'I CLIMATE CHANGE
MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION COMMISSION TO CONDUCT AN
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM REGARDING THE ACTIVITIES OF INDIVIDUALS
THAT CONTRIBUTE TO CLIMATE CHANGE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission to:
(1) Conduct an educational program regarding the activities
of individuals that contribute to climate change; and
(2) Coordinate with the Department of Health in the
implementation of the educational program.
Your Committee received testimony in '■support of this measure
from Citizens' Climate Lobby Hawaii and one individual.
Your Committee finds that there is misleading information
regarding how effective certain actions are at mitigating climate
change. Your Committee further finds that this may deceive
consumers into believing that they are reducing their carbon
footprint more than they actually are. This measure will
accurately inform the public on the personal activities, habits.
