About Our Work

The Hawaiian Islands are an evolutionary and cultural wonder.

Our Mid-Pacific office protects the islands' native species from the threats of habitat destruction, overfishing, and harmful sonar use, and we work with local Hawaiian organizations to restore the islands' waterways.

Office Spotlight

Solar Tax Credits in Hawai‘i
Earthjustice, representing the Sierra Club, is challenging in state circuit court the Hawaiʻi Department of Taxation’s decision to cut back on tax credits for residents and businesses that install solar energy systems. The Department’s new interpretation of the solar credit—which was announced November 9, 2012 and goes into effect January 1, 2013—will drastically reduce the availability of the Hawaiʻi renewable energy tax credit for solar photovoltaic systems and threatens Hawaiʻi's progress in promoting renewable energy and in weaning itself off fossil fuels.
