Essay Topics

1. How does sustainability make Hawaii a better place to live?

Alternate sources of energy, such as solar power, are becoming more widely adopted across Hawaii, largely due to Hawaii’s renewable energy tax incentives and cost benefits for residents.
In 500 words, please explain how you feel sustainability makes Hawaii a better place to live and how a more sustainable Hawaii impacts your day-to-day life.

2. Hawaii Solar Energy Timeline

Hawaii has a history of pushing for a more solar friendly state legislature, going back to 1976 with the passing of the Energy Tax Act. However, we are still quite a ways away from a mass solar energy adoption in the state.

In 500 words, please explain how you would push state legislation and non-solar energy providers toward a more widely adopted solar-powered Hawaii.
