Farms, Not Dumps

Today, despite overwhelming community support for protecting local farm lands, developers are pushing Honolulu Councilmembers to approve a “purple spot,” a new industrial zone in the middle of green Lualualei Valley on the Waianae Coast. This industrial zone would urbanize precious agricultural and preservation lands, paving the way for industrial parks, landfills, and other industrial land uses.

Take Action

Please join and sign the petition today!

The plan must be approved by the Council for the City and County of Honolulu before it becomes law. We are asking Councilmembers to reject the “purple spot” and protect agricultural lands throughout the Wai‘anae Coast.
