Earlier this month, Hawaii’s four mayors made a joint commitment to take Hawaii’s ground transportation off of fossil fuels.
The mayors imagine a future where within 28 years, all cars, trucks, trains and buses will be fueled by renewable energy across the state.

It also means when residents hop on the bus to go to work, their ride won’t pollute the air they breathe. The group believes this is possible, another controversial idea: internet, which connects the globe, was invented just 28 years ago.

- They believe their people are leading.
- They say it is possible to innovate your way to the future.
