Every day, I’m scouring the Internet for land use and environmental news from around the state and around the world that means something for us here in Hawaii. Noteworthy today: a new master plan for Kamehameha Schools, Big Island decides against selling sugar lands and sunscreen may not help after all.

• Kamehameha Schools announced Monday its new $120 million master plan that includes a Hawaiian cultural center and athletic complex for its Kapalama campus, the Honolulu Advertiser reports.

• Hawaii County has backed off a proposal to sell former Hamakua Sugar Co. lands, but one councilman wants to revoke the mayor’s power to do so without future council approval, West Hawaii Today reports. The council originally gave its OK to the sale of 737 acres when it appeared the proceeds would be needed to balance the county budget.

• The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority sold land for $849 million in the first successful auction in almost two years. Mumbai, India’s largest city with nearly 14 million residents, ranks behind Hong Kong and Tokyo as the most expensive office location in Asia, a real estate survey says.

• Feeling burned? It turns out that sunscreens may prevent sunburns, but do not prevent the deadliest types of skin cancer, the Environmental Working Group said in its 2010 Sunscreen Guide, released Monday. And because people who use sunscreens tend to spend longer in the sun, they actually have a higher incidence of cancer, a study shows. The Federal Drug Administration is expected to release its rules on sunscreens later this year, the Chicago Tribune reports.
