       Hey, my #Hawaii  folk. What do you think of this mini-documentary by Georg Rockall-Schmidt. I don't know much about this topic but found it fascinating. Because I've often thought "They grow pineapples in Hawaii, right? But also knew "All the food is so expensive there because it's imported."I didn't know Dole destroyed the soil with those pineapple farms. And there is much more.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79zrPaptR1c

       @futurebird One of my former newspaper photojournalist friends here is Indigenous Hawaiian & she was the first to inform me about the colonial damages done to her peoples in Hawaii. Her family was displaced by white pineapple plantation owners a few generations ago. She informed me about the waters pollution/toxification by US Navy too.

       @futurebird You should look up Andrew Millison he does Permaculture, but he recently covered how communities in Hawaii are restoring the old food production system.It’s not surprising they destroyed the soil. Tropical biome nutrients are retained in the biome you trapped down vegetation you kill the soil and all that disappears.

       @futurebird One obvious question: Why would you waste money to grow mangoes in Hawai'i in a greenhouse when the temperature never approaches 32F on Lana'i ever. Everybody used to grow mangoes in their yards. Mango trees grow so well and so high their roots were reaching under houses and walls and destroying them. But the fruit is ono.No need one malahini haole buggah with no da kine experience waste all da kine for one vanity project. Tell da buggah, go home Mainland. "Ua mau ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono"Money does not make you akamai; Larry Ellison is proof.#hawaii

       @futurebird I dislike billionaires as much as the next guy but the narrator clearly has a personal beef with Ellison. He fails to emphasize that the Hawaiian PEOPLE still exist and are trying to restore their culture, land & identity. He didn't even bother to learn how to pronounce Kamehameha properly. He barely mentioned the problems of invasive pests (of which earthworms -- not native! -- are just one), habitat destruction, mass extinction & general loss of biodiversity. I give it a C minus.
