SOS Metals Island Recycling is admirably hosting a metal recycling fundraiser for local non-profit organizations including Habitat for Humanity and the Community Work Day program. The fundraiser will take place from the 16th to the 20th of this month.

Abandoned cars and appliances mar the pristine beauty of Maui and no one wants to look at them. This is an opportunity to put them to use. You can bring all the metal items that you have accumulated or that have been abandoned, including scrap metal, appliances, vehicles and non-ferrous metal items such as copper, brass, stainless steel, aluminum and lead. Even vehicle batteries will be accepted if you can spare $5 so they can be processed.

Hawaii's energy troubles are looking toward a brighter and more sustainable future, based on recent information about the use of Smart Grid technology and wind farms. The state is currently reviewing a massive project to run undersea power cables between Lanai, Molokai, Oahu and Maui. The bidding process for a company that can conduct an environmental impact study on this process is underway.

The cable will be at least 30 miles long and its purpose would be to tie the islands together on one electrical grid so that renewable energy generated in Maui county could be used in Oahu where most of the state's electricity is consumed. Not only is Maui's wind farm a proposed source of renewable energy, but so are two more proposed wind farms on the islands of Molokai and Lanai.
