Paradise Trashed and Aloha Vanishing
#23
There are many area on the mainland that look much like rural Puna (Tennessee 'lawn cars"), and up till WW2 most people outside a downtown area had trash heaps on their property, and many in town had rubbish burn cans & Town dumps were not sanitary land fills. The problem is when cultural values/norms from one century clash with the new norms of today (Before WW2 most people did not drive in & eat food on the road, most packaging would easy burn or degrade & there were billions fewer people on earth. Times have changed, worldwide our consumption of materials has changed, and hopefully soon, so will the disposal methods.

It is interesting to note that keeping a clean yard & a neat rubbish pile was admired in some of the pre-contact Hawaiian lore.... maybe we should all strive to live that way...
