Our Goal

Blue Planet Foundation's mission is to end the use of fossil fuels on Earth, starting in Hawaii. We can eliminate Hawaii‘s dependency on imported oil by switching to local, clean, renewable sources of energy. The result? Energy security, economic growth, job creation, environmental protection, and a better quality of life for Hawaii residents. Through educational outreach, advancing sound policy, and developing programs that connect island communities with effective solutions, Blue Planet Foundation is fostering Hawaii’s clean energy future.

  1. Damien High School 9th Grade Science Class - Honolulu - "We are the change!"  ||  Kevin Dalit - Honolulu - "I'm down for clean energy."   ||  Ian Tierney - Honolulu - "Aikea about clean energy"  || Jason Kim - Honolulu - "I will remember to turn off the lights and other appliances to save energy. I also choose to eat turkey instead of beef burgers at Burgers on the Edge!" || Kimber Carhart - Kihei, Maui - "Since we can't afford to change the cars we drive right now, I ride my bike to work a minimum of 2 days per week. Not bad for a 43 year old female with a 17 mile commute round trip from Kihei into Wailuku. We also have a monthly energy contest in our family to see if we can reduce our consumption of both water and electricity each month. We buy organic first and local whenever it is available organic."
  2. Kieren Pond - North Shore, Kauai - "I run on positive energy and so should Hawaii!" ||   MIkayla Hart - North Shore, Kauai - "The future is yours to decide, promote clean energy worldwide." || James Campbell High School 10th graders || Windward Community College Service-Learning Fair || James Lincoln IV - Waianae - "Will turn off the lights everytime when I go to school."
