Ulupono Initiative aims to improve the quality of life for island residents in part by increasing the use of clean, renewable energy and the production of locally grown food. Ulupono’s energy investments each contribute to decreasing Hawaii’s dependency on imported fossil fuels, including Honolulu Seawater Air Conditioning, which is developing one of Hawaii’s largest energy efficiency projects with a district cooling system in downtown Honolulu, and Bikeshare Hawaii, which recently introduced Biki, Honolulu’s new bikeshare program. In the food sector, Ulupono has funded local, pasture-raised beef projects, such as Paniolo Cattle Company, and the Hawaii Farm-to-School Initiative, which aims to include more local food on public school menus.
