Gov. Josh Green joins Civil Beat environmental reporter Marcel Honoré in the newsroom on Monday, June 30 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to discuss the new green fee bill, which adds an additional 0.75% to accommodations — hotels, short-term rentals, cruise ships — to offset visitors' impact on Hawaiʻi’s natural resources and help shield the state from climate change. We’ll be learning more about this new bill in detail and hear about how the state plans to implement it.

This event will be guided by written questions submitted by the audience in person and in advance. Send in your questions through this form.
