Life of the Land
is a Hawaii-based, Hawaii-focused
environmental and community action group. Founded in 1970, the mission
of Life of the Land is to preserve and protect the life of the land
through sustainable land use and energy policies and to promote open
government through research, education, advocacy and, when necessary,
litigation. We believe that people are part of the environment. We are
known for research, research, research. We cover complex issues such as
genetic engineering, climate change, and quality of life issues. LOL is
a 501(c)3 charitable organization. We do not attend fundraisers,
testify for/against political and/or administrative candidates, nor do
we rank candidates. We work on issues not people.
