Hawaii’s 2013 State Teacher of the Year Received
Use of a KIA Optima Hybrid from Aloha KIA
The 7 District Teachers of the Year
each received a $200 gas card from Aloha Petroleum, Ltd.
HADA president-elect Bill van den Hurk provided a fuel-efficient
40 mpg (highway) KIA Optima Hybrid to
the Hawaii State Teacher of the Year to use for a year
and HADA associate member Aloha Petroleum, Ltd. provided
$200 free gas cards to all seven Hawaii District Teachers of
the Year. The association notes that the developing category
of efficient gasoline cars will make a major contribution
to achieving the goals of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative—which
specifies that 30% of the HCEI’s goal for 2030 be
achieved through “efficiency” that is, in the ground personal
transportation sector, the more efficient use of petroleum
through higher mile per gallon vehicles.
HADA members recently calculated that if the nation
followed Hawaii’s example of the HCEI, and if the nation
achieved the same goal by 2030, that more than 40 billion
gallons of gasoline would be saved.
