Who gets a green thumbs up? OF COURSE, all candidates say they support Hawaii's environment (like Mom and apple pie). But who's going to turn words into action? The Sierra Club, Hawai‘i Chapter, and its four island groups, sorted through all the candidates and selected the best choices for protecting the ‘aina. The candidates endorsed by the Sierra Club will help to protect our beaches and open space, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and increase funding of environmental programs. | The best thing you can do for Hawai‘i's environment is to vote. Putting the right people in office is more than half the battle in our conservation work. The Sierra Club has done its best to select the best applicants for the job. Please support these candidates in the upcoming elections. Want to do a touch bit more to ensure an environmental advocate is elected?
