Join 10,000 Hawaii students and families for Earth Day pledge

Do you believe you can help save the Earth for generations to come with just your signature? Now imagine joining 10,000 others who share the same goal.

The Hawaii State Department of Education and local nonprofit Kanu Hawaii are collecting 10,000 signatures from students and families to pledge for assuming greater responsibility in environmental stewardship through personal actions. With your help, they hope to reach their goal of 10,000 signatures by Earth Day on April 22.

Students from across Hawaii created the pledge, which you can read and sign here.

“This pledge speaks to our most imperative values: care for the environment, community, and our sense of aloha,” said Kanu Hawaii Executive Director Keone Kealoha. “This pledge is an investment in the leadership of tomorrow and a promise to our future generations through a personal commitment today. The Department of Education partnership speaks to this vision and belief that this must be an educational focus and one we should proactively invest in.”

The HIDOE and Kanu Hawaii have an overarching goal of getting 50,000 signatures by 2023.
