My Kahiau topic issue is ocean pollution. To be more specific, we are discussing the effects of ocean pollution on wildlife. The impacts of colonization have caused many people unaware of the importance of our land in Hawaiʻi to live or visit here and litter, negatively impacting wildlife. The rise of factories and technology has worsened our oceans. Colonization is defined as “the action or process of setting among and establishing control over the indigenous people of an area.” It is evident that colonization has caused Hawaiʻi to become a place where people aren’t sustainable. Our ancestors used to live off of the land without harming the environment whatsoever. Now, we eat the food that is shipped here and have no say in the matter. With colonization, came dangers to our environment. It has become harder to control the amount of litter found in the ocean, to the point where I don’t think we will ever be able to rid the ocean of this garbage.
