Renewable Energy Lab blessed at Hana School
Posted in Maui news
Hana high school students have built what one of them called the "green shack." Not the kind made from coconut fronds with bamboo framing but the other kind of green building, the more high-tech one, an energy-saving structure with photovoltaic panels, a windmill and solar hot water system. The Alternative Energy Lab was erected by about 40 students in the Hana School Building Program Ma Ka Hana Ke 'Ike ("In Working, One Learns") and blessed by Solomon "Uncle Bully" Kahalewai Hoopai last week in a ceremony attended by about 250 students, school staff and community members.
