<br />solid material, grading, grubbing, or extraction of
<br />any materials, change in density or intensity of use
<br />of land, or construction, reconstruction,

<br />land by a land owner who maintains fee simple
<br />ownership over the land or by a party other than

<br />Digital Divide is the gap between those who
<br />have affordable access, skills, and support to
<br />effectively engage online and those who do not.
<br />As technology constantly evolves, the digital
<br />divide prevents equal participation and
<br />opportunity in all parts of life, disproportionately
<br />affecting people of color, indigenous peoples,
<br />households with low incomes, people with
<br />disabilities, people in rural areas, and older
<br />adults.
<br />Digital Equity is the condition in which all
<br />individuals and communities have the information
<br />technology capacity needed for full participation
<br />in our society, democracy, and economy. Digital
<br />equity is necessary for civic and cultural
<br />participation, employment, lifelong learning, and
<br />access to essential services.
<br />Digital Inclusion includes the activities necessary
<br />to ensure that all individuals and communities,
<br />including the most disadvantaged, have access to
<br />and use of Information and Communication
<br />Technologies (ICT). Five elements are critical:
<br />• Affordable, robust broadband internet
<br />service;
<br />• Internet -enabled devices that meet the
<br />needs of the user;
<br />• Access to digital literacy training;
<br />• Quality technical support; and
<br />Applications and online content designed
<br />to enable and encourage self-sufficiency,
<br />participation and collaboration.

<br />benefits can be direct or indirect, small or large.
<br />Eco-Tourism in Hawai'i refers to sustainable travel
<br />and recreation activities that prioritize the
<br />conservation of HawaiTs unique natural
<br />environment, cultural heritage, and local
<br />communities. It involves exploring and
<br />appreciating HawaiTs diverse ecosystems, such
<br />as rainforests, coral reefs, and volcanic
<br />landscapes, while supporting efforts to protect
<br />these environments. Ecotourism in Hawai'i
<br />encourages responsible behaviors among visitors,
<br />such as respecting wildlife, minimizing waste, and
<br />supporting local businesses that prioritize
<br />environmental stewardship and cultural
<br />preservation. This approach aims to ensure that
<br />tourism benefits Hawai'i'snatural and cultural
<br />resources while fostering awareness and
<br />appreciation of its unique island ecosystems.
<br />Embodied Carbon in the building industry refers
<br />to the greenhouse gas emissions arising from the
<br />lifecycle of building materials, including
<br />extraction, manufacturing, transportation,
<br />installation, maintenance, and disposal.
<br />Endemic Species are native species that are
<br />unique to a defined geographical location. They
<br />are of conservation concern because they are not
<br />widespread and may be confined to only one or
<br />two areas.
<br />Energy Producer is any entity that produces
<br />energy of any kind, including (without limitation)
<br />gas or oil -fueled, coal, nuclear, hydro, chemical
<br />reaction, electromagnetic, wave or tidal action,
<br />biofuels-based, geothermal, and renewable
<br />energy production.
