hawaiian lands = profit

Where I live it's a place of unique beauty that you can only find on these Hawaiian Islands, like the indigineous people, animals, fish, and plants. But every day something new is being built on our island. New condos, hotels, bungalows, mainly anything that has to deal with profit and tourism. As I watch the untouched land being built on, I wonder, will my island "the big island" be like O'ahu (which is over populated and barely any agriculture left) in the future. Majority of the native people are becoming upset of these actions. When their  anscestors roamed the land before the newcomers did. That's why all the people from here do such things like harass tourists or any white person. At times I understand because there's some white people/tourists that block off our beach access, or any other place, that we've been going to for generations after generations.  The other problem is them leaving their trash, their stuck up attitudes, or not caring for our island. To me and many other people our island is special. We are one with the island, spiritually. Our island is "Aloha" and we expect for the tourists to bring aloha, other than that the native people will probably kick your butt. But the point is people who agree with me and the native people needs to start taking action, including myself to teach the purpose of our island, teach the beauty that has been here forever and now is being ruined, to the tourists. if not its going into more chaos and there will become a huge outbreak, and we don't need anymore violence. But things only last for so long and i suggest people should become more wise of what they do and how it will affect other things. Becaus ethe world is round.


 


Theres many other cases like this all around the World and I just want people to take action, but without violence. We need to have our voices heard, and I mean now. If you watch things that need help or taken care of, do it. Don't wait!!!
