The Industrial Age is something that has impacted the world, especially in the last 1-2 years. During this time of covid, in Hawaiʻi I seen a lot of dramatic changes with economics. Many people are losing their jobs, economy rates are dropping, and majority of products like, food and water, are still are kind of expensive. Due to Covid, people canʻt make that much money as they used to because they donʻt want anyone to be exposed to others, so because of that the things we need the most isnʻt really accessible, but when it comes to a pandemic, many people need to get products such as, essentials. Not only the Pandemic has pushed us to the edge, it has pushed us off the edge. A lot of retails stores products has increased a lot since the start of this pandemic. Reflecting off of this information, it relates to my Kahiau Project because our goals are to find a better, cheaper, and cleaner energy to have what the world wants the most. In a matter a fact, during this time of covid, where everyone is at home, staying inside, using electric, water, and many more, my group members and I are in a proccess of making our product, Project Green. Learning History about our cultural history through language has really brought me into this world where I can make a lot of connections the the past and present. When your mind is dealing with history, the importance of it is "understanding the past is they key to understanding the present." For example, Here in Hawaii, we learn through our culture and past history. We have sacred and significance land, that makes us who we are. On Mauna Kea, we have this movement to protest against having this piece of techonolgy to be plotted on Mauna Kea. Mauna Kea is one of many places that has meaning within itself, we can use this information and teach it to our young ones. Activism played a big role in this problem because we as kanaka needed our voices to be heard towards others out there that can help. This hasnʻt only happnened once, but multiple times.
