Three Environmental Issues in Hawaii
Hawaii faces several serious environmental issues that threaten its ecosystems. These include traffic congestion and pollution on Oahu, bleaching of coral reefs due to climate change which has already caused a 27% loss of coral since 2000, and a major trash problem. Trash in oceans is particularly harmful to wildlife and preventing marine debris is important to protect Hawaii's environment. Citizens are encouraged to help preserve the state's beaches, water, and ocean gifts.
Califano finalpres
The document discusses the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is a large area of concentrated plastic pollution in the North Pacific Ocean. It is estimated to contain over 100 million tons of plastic trash that has been trapped there by ocean currents. Most of the plastic is unable to biodegrade and remains in the ocean indefinitely. This plastic pollution has negative effects on wildlife as marine animals often mistake the small plastic pieces for food, which can lead to choking, entanglement, or suffocation. The document outlines some actions that can help address this problem, such as reducing single-use plastics, cleaning up beaches, and supporting organizations working on environmental cleanup efforts.
Ict lesson shari.l vii a students
The document defines nature as everything not made by man. It lists animals, birds, and plants as things seen in nature. Nature is described as divine and balancing the ecosystem. The document recommends minimizing plastic use, not throwing waste in water bodies, and not cutting trees to protect nature. The overall message is that it is our duty to protect nature.
Impacts of Climate Change on Cambodia
Cambodia is vulnerable to floods and droughts which are exacerbated by climate change. Agriculture and fisheries are particularly at risk as they are highly dependent on seasonal rainfall. Floods and droughts have previously caused major damage and losses, contributing to widespread poverty across Cambodia. Many Cambodians live in high risk areas and rely on agriculture for their livelihoods, so long-term risks of climate change like water insecurity, sea level rise, and disruption of ecosystems threaten their livelihoods and food security.
Martha’s Vineyard Ocean Sustainability
This document discusses ocean sustainability efforts on Martha's Vineyard. It outlines the importance of oceans, the island's dependence on water historically and currently, challenges like nitrogen pollution and overfishing, and various organizations working on conservation and education including the Martha's Vineyard Commission, Wampanoag Tribe, Vineyard Conservation Society, and MVYLI's ocean sustainability program.
Environmental Issues in Hawaii
This document discusses three major environmental issues in Hawaii: ocean plastic pollution, toxic waste pollution, and terrigenous sediment impacting coral reefs. It notes that plastic in the oceans has increased tremendously, with some areas containing more plastic than fish. Toxic waste has also been left behind at former military sites harming wildlife. Additionally, sediment from land is smothering and killing coral reefs, which serve as important ecosystems. The document provides details on the scale of these problems and their impacts on Hawaii's environment and marine life.
Beach Sustainability
Limu, or seaweed, is important for marine life in Hawaii. It helps feed animals like sea turtles and fish. On a field trip, students learned that tying limu to old ropes helps it grow and filter water while cleaning beaches. However, debris is a major issue, especially on the north shore of Lanai where currents bring trash from Maui and Molokai. Debris can harm oceans and kill over 100 million marine animals each year. Everyone can help by picking up trash, avoiding plastic, participating in cleanups, and informing others.

How You Can Be the Change You Envision
This document discusses the challenges of environmental pollution and climate change, and proposes putting youth in charge as a solution. It summarizes the work done by the UMass Boston Nantucket Field Station and other field stations, including research on water quality, harmful algal blooms, fisheries, climate change impacts like rising seas and stronger storms. The document advocates for youth leadership on environmental data collection and policy changes to address issues like runoff, invasive species, and plastic pollution.
Water pollution
Water pollution is a serious global problem. It has various causes like industrial waste, marine dumping, oil spills, and agricultural runoff. This contamination affects ecosystems, spreads disease, and impacts food safety and access to clean water. Innovative solutions are being developed like the Great Bubble Barrier which uses air bubbles to divert waste in rivers, ferrofluid that binds microplastics magnetically, and devices like the Seabin and Wasteshark that collect floating trash from ports and harbors.

Global Water Crisis
Global water crisis is a serious issue affecting many regions of the world. Over 1/3 of the global population lacks access to clean drinking water. Lack of access to sanitation is linked to poverty and disproportionately impacts developing countries. Rapid population growth and development are straining water resources in many places through overuse, pollution, and depletion of sources. Improving access to clean water and sanitation worldwide is critical for public health, but achieving universal access remains a challenge.
Plastic a nightmare
platic is a big challenge in today's world in this presentation there are the both the damage caused by the plastic and their solutions are presented.
Edc171 assesment 3 presentation
The document discusses the issue of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and its impacts on marine life and ecosystems. Through research, it has been found that large amounts of plastic pollution in the oceans are killing and injuring marine animals like turtles who often ingest plastic bags mistaking them for jellyfish. There is also evidence that the garbage accumulating on ocean floors is limiting food sources for smaller sea creatures and creating an imbalanced ecosystem. Further research is still needed to fully understand all of the impacts of deep sea garbage sitting on the ocean bottom.
Water Conflicts Supply And Demand
Water is a finite resource that exists in both freshwater and seawater forms. As the global population has grown, the demand for water has far exceeded the available supply. Agriculture accounts for 67% of global water usage, mostly for irrigation. Industry uses 21% globally, a percentage expected to rise with developing countries' economic growth. Domestic water usage makes up 10% but varies greatly between countries. Surface water and aquifers are the main sources, but overuse is causing issues like declining water tables and seawater contamination in some areas. Water poverty is linked to overall poverty, as lack of access to clean water hampers development and quality of life.
Plastic Garbage Project-5
This document discusses the issue of plastic pollution and its effects. It notes that over 8,000 kg of plastics are produced every second but most plastic is not biodegradable and instead breaks down into microplastics that enter the food chain. Much of the plastic waste ends up polluting the oceans, with 6.4 metric tons entering oceans each year, where it can travel long distances and persist for hundreds of years as microplastics and potential archaeological findings on beaches in the future. This plastic pollution impacts wildlife through ingestion and entanglement. The document examines some solutions but notes the health and environmental concerns around certain chemicals used in plastics like phthalates and bisphenol A.
Environmentdetect
The three main environmental issues facing Hawaii are invasive species, trash, and water pollution. Invasive species such as ring-nosed parakeets negatively impact biodiversity and can cause extinction of native species. Large amounts of trash continue to pollute Hawaii's beaches and oceans, with seabirds and marine life ingesting plastic. Water pollution is also a problem, with testing finding many waters failing to meet public health standards due to pollution from sources like Marisco Limited.
How My Roots Have Shaped My Life
- The document discusses how the speaker's roots with the sea shaped their life path, leading them to study ocean acidification (OA) and its impacts.
- Their Watson Fellowship involved traveling to sites around the world to understand how OA may affect human communities dependent on ocean resources. They found OA could threaten industries like scallop fishing in Peru.
- The speaker learned that all communities have relationships with their environments and that problems often emerge from unhealthy relationships that enable unsustainable practices.
- Going forward, they see opportunities in fields that can help build healthier human-environment relationships and address issues like OA.

Water problems
Today I will talk about water problems ,everybody as know that water is very important resource to live for alive organisms..the earth is consist of 70% with water..in nowdays water problems have been increasing ,so it can causes some problems in the world..first of all I wanna talk about the types of water problems .there are 3 types of water problems biological,chemical,physician ,biological… biological water problem means bacterica and viruses … inside the water some dangerous bacterias and parasites can cause serious diseases in people in direct contact with this contaminated water. This might include people drinking, swimming or washing in the contaminated water and extremely serious and contagious diseases..second one is chemical water problem it means throwing away nuclear oil ,heavy metals and radioactive spells..actually it happens in industry section.. third one is physicial water problems it means throwing away bottles or waster plastic bags..also this cause the dirtiness of water .
.causes of the water problems … there are actually three basic causes to make the water problem in the world..nuclear oil ,throwing waster bottle,wasting lots of water…nuclear oil it means in industry section fabrics and many industry instructions to flow the oil and smoke ,so it cause water problem..and also throwing waster bottles make the dirty to the water … the last the wasting lots of water also cause water problems ,because today most of country worry about less water..
Effects of water problems..
In the world water pollution is the big problem ,its effects is very dangerous … for example poisoing food and water ,desease and even death… Globally, more than 1 million children under 5 die each year from diarrheal disease
the effects of water pollution are not only devasting to people but also to animals ,fish and birds ..polluted water is unsuitable for drinking ..
In addition every problems have the solution way ,also water problems have 3 basic solution way ,planting trees,ran off,and don’t throwing away wasted substaces like bottles bags etc..planting trees are cause to prevent the land erosion and to make the clean dirty co2 matters from the nature also in the water..then we must be educating people because if we waste lots of water in somedays we cant find it again so we must ran off water..and also we don’t throw away the wasted subtances ..in conclusion I think that we have to change our habits ,because
The water is a natural resources very important and if we follow the same way till now ,one day maybe our sons woke up and won`t have water to drink…Thanks for your attention!..
Water Scarcity
The document examines the environmental and human factors that affect physical and economic water scarcity around the world. It discusses topics like the difference between physical and economic scarcity, the countries most affected by water availability issues, and the reasons why scarcity occurs, both from an environmental and human-caused perspective. The document also looks at trends in scarcity and considers what the future may hold for the issue of water scarcity globally.

Water Crisis
This document discusses the global water crisis, focusing on case studies in Sao Paulo, Cape Town, and India. It notes that 1.1 billion people lack access to clean water and outlines factors contributing to water shortages like poor infrastructure, pollution, and climate change. Case studies highlight multi-year droughts in Sao Paulo and Cape Town that have led to daily water rationing and the potential for "Day Zero" when Cape Town's taps run dry. India also faces shortages due to overextraction, pollution of water sources, and lack of proper planning. Solutions proposed include improved infrastructure, rainwater harvesting, wastewater recycling, and desalination.
Life below water - presentation
This document discusses how human actions affect the aquatic environment and life below water. It begins with introductions from students and a teacher who will lead a conversation club discussion on this topic. They then ask questions to get people thinking about their relationship with water and how it is impacted by pollution, plastic, thermal contamination, and littering. Statistics are provided on how much carbon dioxide is absorbed by oceans and the percentage of oceans affected by pollution. The discussion then shifts to what conditions would be like if humans lived in oceans and had to adapt to that habitat. The document concludes by asking what actions people can take to help address these issues impacting life below water.
Inside Africa\'s Water Crisis
1) More than half of Africans lack access to safe drinking water, and women often walk long distances such as 3.75 miles on average to collect water. This takes up a large portion of their daily energy and has negative health impacts.
2) Africa faces a severe water crisis with low access to drinking water and sanitation. This is exacerbated by rapid population growth and effects poverty. Community-based projects emphasizing local participation and ownership have had some success in increasing access.
3) Solutions implemented include wells, sand dams, rainwater harvesting, and solar disinfection. NGOs play a large role, but sustainability is a challenge without community involvement in maintenance. Overall access remains low and expanding access
shortage of water
The document discusses water shortage and its causes, impacts, and solutions. It defines water shortage as insufficient water resources to meet human demand globally or in a region. Key reasons for shortage include overuse in bathing, religious practices, wasting water, and leaks. Impacts are increased risk of disease outbreaks, economic and political problems, and loss of life. Recommended steps to prevent shortage are closing taps when not in use, avoiding waste, checking for leaks, and repairing broken pipes.
Environmental issues in hawaii
Hawaii faces serious environmental issues such as trash on beaches, invasive species, and coral bleaching. Trash on beaches has increased and is affecting wildlife. Invasive species threaten biodiversity by preying on or competing with native species. Hawaii is home to many endangered species. Warming waters have bleached 47% of coral reefs and killed 10% at Hanauma Bay, contributing to a 27% loss of coral globally since 2000 due to climate change.
Impact of Sewage Discharge on Coral Reefs
1) The document discusses the ecological impact of sewage discharge on coral reefs. Sewage pollution introduces excess nutrients into coral reef ecosystems, which can cause eutrophication and algal overgrowth that damages corals.
2) A 3-year study found that doubling nutrient levels from sewage led to a doubling of coral bleaching events in Florida Keys reefs. Removing the nutrient pollution allowed for reef recovery.
3) About 96% of coral reef areas near human populations face sewage pollution problems. The majority of sewage in developing areas enters the ocean untreated. Even in developed nations, aging infrastructure can lead to sewage leaks that pollute coastal waters.

The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystems
The document summarizes the key ecosystem services provided by five critical estuarine and coastal ecosystems: coral reefs, seagrass beds, salt marshes, mangroves, and sand beaches and dunes. It discusses the economic valuation of these services and outlines some of the major stressors threatening each ecosystem. The conclusion calls for more interdisciplinary studies, viewing degradation of these ecosystems as costly rather than costless, encouraging ecological restoration, and considering setting an infinite monetary value to focus on sustainable management rather than valuation.
Integrated Water Resource Planning - Water, Forests, People and Policy
This slideshow presents a series of graphics, photographs and statements reflective of integrated water resource management with specific reference to forest management in a changing climate. We are already experiencing the migration of animals and humans with climate shifts. The severity and frequency of wildfires, droughts, floods and ocean acidification are also increasing. Impacts to our economy, infrastructure and atmosphere have lead us to difficult choices regarding land use and future policy development to better manage our natural resources.

The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystems
This document discusses the value of ecosystem services provided by estuarine and coastal ecosystems, including coral reefs, seagrasses, salt marshes, mangroves, and sand beaches/dunes. It identifies key services such as coastal protection, fisheries production, carbon sequestration, and tourism/recreation. The document also outlines threats and stressors facing these ecosystems, such as overfishing, pollution, coastal development, and climate change. The overall purpose is to illustrate current understanding of the ecosystem services of estuarine and coastal areas and to integrate knowledge on valuing changes to human welfare from impacts on these services.
Alicia Pollution In Our Great Lakes
The Great Lakes contain nearly 20% of the world's surface freshwater. Pollution from industrial activities, sewage, toxic contamination and urban/agricultural runoff have degraded water quality over time in each of the lakes. Pollutants such as PCBs, mercury, pathogens and excess nutrients now threaten wildlife and limit recreational uses of the lakes. More must be done to reduce pollution and protect these important freshwater resources for future generations.
The environment
Hawaii faces several pressing environmental issues including excessive trash production, ocean pollution, and endangered species. The state ships over 20,000 tons of trash annually due to a temporary solution becoming long-term. Ocean pollution from nitrogen runoff is killing coral reefs and marine plants produce 85% of the world's oxygen. Hawaii is home to 25% of endangered species globally but many native plants and animals are threatened by invasive species like pigs and strawberry guava.
Kaanapali Makai Watch presentation 6/30/10
The document discusses a planning meeting to discuss water quality monitoring and coral reef protection efforts in Ka'anapali, Maui. It introduces representatives from organizations involved in these efforts and outlines an agenda covering turbidity monitoring, the Kahekili Herbivore Fisheries Management Area, ongoing research, and opportunities for community involvement in monitoring. The goal is to brainstorm how to strengthen the Ka'anapali Makai Watch program through increased education, outreach, and volunteer monitoring activities.
Coral Bleaching.pdf
Coral bleaching occurs when corals expel the algae that live inside their tissue, causing them to turn white. This is caused by environmental stressors like increased ocean temperatures. When corals bleach, they are more vulnerable to disease and death. Mass bleaching events have damaged over half the world's coral reefs in recent decades. The loss of coral reefs impacts biodiversity, coastal protection, food availability, and local economies. While recovery is possible, repeated bleaching makes full recovery unlikely without action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect corals.
Lib 100 powerpoint coral reefs
Coral reefs are important ecosystems that support thousands of marine species but are threatened by climate change. Climate change causes coral bleaching which destroys coral reefs. It can take hundreds of years for reefs to recover from bleaching. In response, organizations like NOAA, EPA and Florida have created the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary to help reefs survive longer by considering them as part of a larger ecological system.
The oceans
Most of the earth is covered by ocean waters. Oceans are very important. They affect weather, and because of uneven heating from the sun, currents of warmer water flow through colder ocean water. Winds cause waves.
Environmental problems in hawaii
Hawaii is a beautiful state! One thing that sets it apart is its beautiful ocean. However, the ocean is in trouble...
Communication Skills
This document discusses pollution of California's coastline from various sources and its negative environmental effects. It identifies the main types of pollution as runoff from cities, trash from beach visitors, pollution from cargo ships, and air pollution. Runoff introduces bacteria that harms ecosystems and human health. Trash kills and sickens wildlife that ingest it. Cargo ship accidents cause major oil spills that damage habitats and coastlines. Air pollution produces smog that impacts both coastal and inland areas. Overall, the document examines how different types of pollution contaminate California's coast and degrade its coastal environments.
Environmental Issues in Hawaii
Overfishing of reef fish and invasive species like roi, toau and taape are hurting Hawaii's native species. Trash on beaches is also a major environmental issue, though it is no longer primarily coming from Japan's 2011 tsunami. Most trash lands on north and east facing beaches from ocean currents around the world. Invasive land species such as the bingabing tree and mongooses are damaging Hawaii's ecosystem by choking out native plants and eating birds' eggs.

CARIBBEAN ESSAY (Natural Hazards).docx
The coral reefs of the Caribbean are threatened with extinction due to four main factors:
1) Rising sea levels are causing coral bleaching and drowning of reefs as they cannot keep up with the growth rate of seas. The 2005 bleaching event in the Caribbean severely damaged reefs.
2) Overfishing has led to an 80% reduction in fish biomass in some areas like Jamaica in the 1960s and damage to coral from loss of parrotfish and other species.
3) Pollution from coastal development, sewage, and runoff is smothering corals and lowering water quality, allowing more algal growth. Less than 10% of Caribbean reefs now have live coral
September-guide_Sea-level-riseFINAL1
Sea levels are rising along Maryland's coastline and increasing the risk of damage from storms. The state is taking steps under its Coast Smart Initiative to help communities adapt to rising seas and stronger storms through projects like marsh restoration. Coast Smart provides guidance for protective construction and helps local governments adopt resilient policies. Sea levels in Maryland are projected to rise 3 to 6 feet by 2100, which could flood historic areas and affect over 1 million residents. Coastal communities are already experiencing more frequent nuisance flooding from higher water levels.
Frm 607 threats to coral reef b9 copy
The main threats to coral reefs include coral bleaching from global climate change, diseases affecting corals and other reef organisms, coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish and other predators, invasive species, overfishing, engineering practices that damage reefs such as port construction, coral mining, and destruction from other construction activities. These threats stress and damage corals, reducing coral cover and biodiversity and degrading vital reef ecosystems.
Detect research presentation 3
This document discusses several key environmental issues facing Hawaii, including ocean garbage, climate change, renewable energy development, and pesticide use. It notes that 15,000 pounds of trash was cleaned from Kamilo Beach and that trash patches in the ocean are pushed to shore. Climate change is increasing risks of sea level rise and coastal flooding in Hawaii, with one island already disappearing. Meanwhile, wind turbines may kill between 140,000 and 328,000 birds annually, though renewable energy development also brings environmental benefits. Pesticide use also poses issues for wildlife such as bees. In summary, the document outlines major environmental challenges facing Hawaii's ecosystems and identifies some tradeoffs of different energy and agricultural practices.
Desalination of the Sea Around Us, Part I
This is a talk on seawater desalination I gave in Seaside California on October 19th, 2010. It is divided in two parts.
Part I contains information on seawater desalination and how the process can impact the marine environment.
Part II provides specific examples of how brine discharged from these plants can affect species, especially eggs and developing young.
It ends with an illustration of how water recycling could be a better long-term solution to our looming water crisis on the Monterey Peninsula and in the State of California.

Crowdfunding Analysis Campaign Write-Up
The document analyzes two crowdfunding campaigns - Capsule, a smart photo assistant app that raised $14,868 of its $49,625 goal, and SOLOSOCKS 2.0, organic single socks that raised $74,179 of its $11,607 goal. Both campaigns used direct and concise writing with images and bullets to clearly explain their product focus and message without confusion. The write-ups are praised for their brevity, clarity, and recognition of potential risks or challenges.
Crowdfunding Analysis Rewards
This document analyzes two crowdfunding projects on Kickstarter - The Drink&Buddy bottle and A Flower for You jewelry line. For The Drink&Buddy, the analysis likes the variety of reward options and descriptions but finds too many options that become overwhelming. For A Flower for You, the analysis likes the product photos and descriptions but finds the reward pricing unclear. In both cases, using a holiday period to attract customers is seen as a positive.
Crowdfunding Analysis Campaigns
This document analyzes two crowdfunding projects. Project 1, "Artisan Pillowpets", successfully raised funds to support Guatemalan artisans by selling handmade pillow pets. It effectively recognized a need and fulfilled it. Project 2, "Kids Interactive Educational Detective Stories & Art Books" unsuccessfully aimed to turn reading into a competition but did not accomplish an actual need. The document provides details on the goals, funding levels, and strengths and weaknesses of each project's approach and video.
DESIGN - Solution Presentation 4
The document discusses solutions to human trafficking in Hawaii. The leading anti-human trafficking organization in Hawaii has provided services to over 140 trafficking survivors and advocated for 14 anti-trafficking laws. It suggests that educating the public about indicators of human trafficking and raising awareness are important solutions.
Solution Presentation 3
The document discusses environmental issues in Hawaii, specifically beach pollution from plastic marine debris. It describes the Beach Environmental Awareness Campaign Hawaii (B.E.A.C.H.), an organization founded in 2006 that brings awareness to plastic pollution issues and provides solutions through environmental education programs, marine debris removal and research, and plastic reduction campaigns. B.E.A.C.H. encourages the public to help address plastic pollution by implementing alternatives to single-use plastic bags.
Research presentation 2 REDO
Homelessness in Hawaii has grown in recent years, leaving the state with 487 homeless per every 100,000 residents. Substance abuse and mental health problems are top diagnoses among the homeless population, who also face rising housing costs and risks of disease, injury, homicide and suicide. Hawaii is working to address the issue through collaboration between government agencies, non-profits, community groups, and concerned citizens.

Homelessness in Hawaii has grown in recent years, with 487 homeless individuals per every 100,000 people in the state. Substance abuse and mental health problems are top diagnoses among the homeless population. Rising housing costs have also contributed to homelessness, as high prices have made housing unaffordable for many Hawaiians. To address the issue, Hawaii is working collaboratively with various government agencies, non-profits, faith groups, businesses, and citizens.
Solution Presentation - Alexa Larson
The most common types of crime in Hawaii are car and home break-ins, stolen cars, and purse snatchings. Around $2 million per year has been spent on the D.A.R.E. program in the U.S. to help address crime. The author proposes creating well-lit walking paths to encourage more pedestrians and thus safer communities in Hawaii.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Editor's Notes
- The problem with plastic is that it doesn’t decompose in the way that organic material does. Instead, when it’s dumped into the ocean or other bodies of water, it tends to break down over time into smaller and smaller pieces. These tiny bits of plastic can easily be mistaken for food by birds, small fish or filter feeders, such as clams and sea cucumbers.
- The Beach Environmental Awareness Campaign Hawaii (B.E.A.C.H.) has done their research and sadly discovered that “plastic bottle caps are one of the top 10 items found during marine debris beach clean-ups and are the second most littered item after cigarette butts.” The reason is because these tiny pieces of plastic are especially difficult to recycle. The plastic material used to make these bottle caps is extremely durable, as it is made of oil and natural-gas
- According to a study released this week in the journal PeerJ, devastated the reefs surrounding Hawaii’s number one tourist destination: Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. Researchers found that 47 percent of the flattest, broadest areas of the snorkeling paradise’s reef had bleached. Just under 10 percent of Hanauma Bay’s corals died.
- Corals are animals often mistaken for minerals because of their skeletal, rock-like structure and slow-growing, immobile nature. And somewhat confusingly, these creatures play host to vegetables. Symbiotic algae dwell inside coral, giving them their colorful cast and providing much needed oxygen and waste removal.
- "Hawaii's renewable energy use has doubled in the past five years, with the islands currently generating about 22 percent of their electricity from wind, solar, geothermal and other renewable energy resources." The bill makes Hawaii the first U.S. state to adopt such a standard.
- Transitioning to 100% renewable energy by 2045 will not be an easy task: there are several challenges that result from the intermittent nature of the most widespread forms of renewable energy, solar and wind. Wind turbines, for instance, must be in a favorable location to produce electricity at a cost-competitive price. Not only must there be wind blowing at an adequate speed to continually generate electricity, there is also usually a need for additional infrastructure to transmit electricity from the generation source to the end-use consumer.
