Comment on Lono's Bounty Documentary Trailer / 'Frances Moore Lappe food security talks and film'

     After viewing the documentary trailer to Lono’s Bounty, I find that Hawai’i has definitely been westernized to the extent that the agricultural circle has been broken. Although there is new found awareness being disseminated out there, the majority of people in Hawai’i are still takers and not leavers. The speakers in the film are the same speakers that visited our class. They are very knowledgeable about the affects of the broken circle on Hawai’i as well as active in restoring the circle and educating others to do the same. It is a documentary that opens the eyes to the destructive behavior of just throwing stuff away. We must unit as a team here in Hawai’i and be representative to the rest of the world of how true sustainability can be attained. It was a very illuminating documentary trailer, and it was good to see the pounding of the poi in the natural Kaneohe environment. Moreove, it makes me appreciate the Hawaiian culture and its love for the environment.
