I believe that H-power is contributing to the sustainability on this island because it is taking out trash from the island and it is making the Oahu islanders more sustainable. I believe that what they do at the power plant is helpful to the people living on the island because they use the trash burn it and use the excess heat to make electricity that powers 5 percent of the island which is a lot considering the amount of people that live on the island. I also think that when they burn the trash it is better than just throwing it in the landfill because when it's in the landfill they produce methane and that gas is much more harmful to the environment than carbon dioxide and the plant produces carbon dioxide from the trash after it's been burned. One more reason why landfills are bad is because landfills don't put anything back into the island however h-power does. H-power putts electricity back into the island it produces electricity by using the heat that was used and it takes the heat from the steam and creates electricity.
I also think that h-power also putts jobs in the islands and that is really god for the economy. H-power offers a lot to the islands by offering jobs, electricity, and helps the atmosphere because it reduces the amount of methane that goes in the atmosphere and it replaces it with carbon dioxide which is a lot safer for the atmosphere and is less harmful to plants and other things that are affected by methane gas. So I think that h-power is one of the most important places in the island and if something would happen to it that would be very bad for the island
