my keiki will be missing a few more days of public school this month, we don't know the state or TMT's new holiday intentions just yet.
Why not use that time wisely to show your keiki another way to respect and protect the aina and it's people? Organize a dengue cleanup day to locate and haul away anything that collects water and breeds mosquitoes? Just like people will make the TMT, people also make the bottles, tires, and plastic that have been carelessly discarded in the forests and along our roadways.
The protectors claim the TMT will cause pollution. What about the tires and plastic bottles already disintegrating across the aina? The protectors say the TMT takes away from the sacred nature of the land just by it's presence. What about the presence of garbage tossed all around the island? Doesn't that also diminish the sacred nature of the aina, not just in one location but everywhere?
