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.

Opting for energy-efficient light bulbs is an easy first step toward Hawaii's clean energy future, and Blue Planet can help. Our C.F.L. Program provides FREE Compact Florescent Lamps (CFLs) to community organizations and school groups. Raise funds for your projects by replacing old bulbs with energy-saving CFLs. The program is a win-win! Your group earns cash rewards while helping your friends and family save energy and money.

With your help, Blue Planet Foundation has replaced nearly 300,000 incandescent light bulbs with CFLS, saving residents more than $40 million and displacing 190,000 barrels of oil over the lifetime of the bulbs.
