The Hawai‘i 2050 Task Force wants to hear from you. What do you like like about the draft Hawaii 2050  Sustainability Plan? What don't you like? What's missing? What could be improved? “Tell us what you think at a Hawaii 2050 community meeting on your island,” organizers urge. The draft 2050 Sustainability Plan was unveiled at a Sustainability Summit on Saturday, Sept. 22.
