Volunteers from the group Kanu Hawaii, which stresses sustainability in the Islands, were at the state Capitol yesterday morning for what they called a day of service and a statement.
The volunteers performed two free services for legislators and anyone parked in the Capitol's lot.
First, they switched out incandescent light bulbs for energy-efficient ones.
Then, they checked the tire pressure of every car in the lot and left a written report.
Later in the day, the Blue Planet Foundation held its Clean Energy Rally at the state Capitol to urge legislators to adopt a "no fossil fuel" approach.
As part of the rally, entertainer Henry Kapono performed with a sound system powered entirely by the sun using photovoltaic panels.
