HI HCR84

Urges the State Department of Transportation and the Department of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu to landscape Hawaii's public highways and roads by planting more trees.

Identifies multiple environmental benefits of trees including oxygen production, carbon dioxide absorption, soil stabilization, water conservation, noise reduction, and temperature regulation.

References Hawaii's successful "A Million Trees of Aloha" initiative from the 1980s that planted 1,200,000 trees.

Emphasizes that tree landscaping supports Hawaii's "Tropical Wonderland" marketing to tourists and enhances the visitor experience, which is vital to the state's economy.

Directs certified copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the State Director of Transportation and Director of Transportation Services of the City and County of Honolulu.
