HONOLULU – www.RevoluSun.com –  Earth Day at RevoluSun is not just about promoting renewable energy, it’s about walking the walk of sustainability. And this year, the public is encouraged to show how green they can be! Each year RevoluSun holds an in-house "Earth Day Challenge" that encourages team members to document themselves doing sustainable acts on Earth Day, like walking or riding a bike to work, recycling and reusing, composting, starting home gardens, and picking up trash with their keiki.
