Earlier this month, HONBLUE was recognized by Hawaii Energy as an Energy Hero.  We’re truly honored and promise to continue looking for ways to improve our operation’s efficiency and share our stories and news of our success with our community.

On that note, I would like to encourage you to look around your communities – not just your ‘sustainable’ friends and colleagues – but for people who may be doing things that are worthy of recognition from Hawaii Energy.  And it doesn’t have to be a LEED Accredited Professional or someone affiliated with the USGBC.  Anyone in Hawaii can become an Energy Hero but it’s up to us to look out for those who are making an effort and nominate them.  Remember, that if we really hope to make a difference, we need to encourage everyone, not just those within our sustainable circle.

Looking to continue making a difference now? HONBLUE can help with your paper waste. We offer recycling services of all shapes and sizes. Read about our programs or contact Shannon Hines directly at 441-4452 or Shines@honblue.com and she’d be happy to walk you through our available services and answer any questions.

    I’d nominate SSFM International for their immense efforts towards a LEED Gold EBOM certificate. They have significantly reduced their energy consumption by using Solar Thermal energy for air conditioning. Also, they have employed company-wide computer power settings and timed power strips for computer accessories to reduce plug loads. Lastly, they have UNPLUGGED vending machines and personal fridges, and replaced old models with Energy Star appliances! Kudos to Jo-Anna Herkes at SSFM.

    Great suggestion! They recycling with us and they’re our neighbor but I had no idea they were doing so much to reduce their consumption. Congrats to SSFM!
