Congratulations to the U. of Hawaii for divesting! I hope some of the money gained from divesting will be put into clean energy and energy efficiency securities. As Archbishop Tutu said, “Move your money out of the problem and into solutions.

This is a major positive contributive step for the University of Hawai’i towards weaning the world from an energy source that is having an immeasurable negative impact to the Earth’s ecosystems. As a former policy developer towards mining activities for the Alberta Government (Alberta, Canada fossil fuel rich area) i witnessed the influence of the oil lobby on the government’s policies (all levels of government). That influence overrode all other considerations whether it be social or environmental, despite the rhetoric on sustainability.

The global society has been propelled to a dependency on the oil industry. The divestment approval is a move towards a development paradigm that takes equal consideration to the People, Planet, and Profit! Mahalo nui to the Board of Regents for such a bold move!

This is also a message to all individuals to think of ways for each one of us to contribute towards reducing our fossil fuel depency. One EASY example is not exceeding the posted road speed limits…do people realize as their speed increases more gas is consumed as well as increased levels of greenhouse gasses? In essence, they are paying their own speed tickets in addition to consuming more gasoline.
