Questions, comments, and concerns followed – [0:20:00]

Climate Future Forum on Harmful Effects of Pesticides used in Hawaii – [0:23:39]: Olivia Eagle from Representative Amy Perruso’s office presented on pesticides in Hawaii and their effects on neighborhoods. She explained that pesticides are substances designed to kill pests including weeds, fungi, rodents, and insects. She differentiated between general use pesticides (GUPs) like Roundup and restricted use pesticides (RUPs), which require certification for purchase and use due to their severe environmental and health impacts. Eagle suggested improvements including better reporting systems, increased buffer zones, larger fines, classifying neonicotinoids as RUPs, implementing environmental testing, and improving transparency in labeling. She encouraged the board to consider adopting resolutions, sharing experiences, testifying, holding community meetings, contacting elected officials, educating about pesticide use in schools, and supporting local organic farms.

Questions, comments, and concerns followed – [0:30:33]
1. District Representation: Member Soong asked which district Eagle represents. She explained she works with Representative Peruso’s office (District 46, North Shore), where the highest concentration of pesticides is found.
2. Comparison to Other States: Member Gatti asked how Hawaii compares to other states. Eagle explained that other states have passed more restrictive pesticide bills, with California implementing quarter-mile school buffer zones and Vermont passing a neonicotinoid ban.
3. Enforcement: Member Gatti asked about enforcement and punishments. Eagle explained that punishments are just small fines that are ineffective for large chemical companies, and enforcement is minimal due to limited reporting requirements.
The State of Hawaii Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Commission on Climate Action Pathways Report – [0:32:55]: Bill from the State Climate Commission presented on the Climate Action Pathways report. He explained that the Climate Commission includes representatives from all counties and state departments and was established to address climate change impacts affecting Hawaii. The Commission has been developing a Climate Action Pathways plan for the past year and a half, working with lawmakers, focus groups, consultants, and community input. The plan aims to make Hawaii more affordable, healthy, and safe by reducing greenhouse gas emissions through renewable energy adoption and native forest replanting.
