The Industrial age & the revolutions that occurred because of it set up/impact my Kahiau Project of ocean pollution in various ways. Because of the industrial age, new technology and modernizations have occurred accordingly. Most notable of these modernizations were infrastructure, buildings, factories, and machines. Consequently, these developments have had and continue to have a negative effect to oceans worldwide. Buildings and factories emitting chemical waste/runoff and pollutants are ending up in oceans along with plastics and debris from manufacturing companies, stores, and users. As you can see, many developments and networks that were derived from the events of the industrial age have had and continue to have devastating effect towards marine life. Understanding these events in history as well as our cultural history through language, culture, and activism in the community plays a significant role in helping us to navigate solutions to the main problems here in Hawaiʻi. By getting to know the details of historical events and traditions, we naturally expand our knowledge and perception on society and the issues within it. This allows us to be able to approach those issues in a creative yet effective way that will benefit and not harm communities. For example, by getting to know the Hawaiian culture, you will be able to understand the conflict we Hawaiians are in with developers and, thus, can think of ideas to bring about justice and benefits to both parties. Overall, history along with language, culture, and activism can help us tremendously to solve problems like the problems here in Hawaiʻi. References
