[Music] Go to hell! All these horrible things are private. [Music]

I cannot go to this; Hawaii is my Hawaii. The meaning of malama honua really is malama; you need to care for something, to cherish something. Who knew? Ah, he translated from our language, beings, our earth, in a deeper sense. Malama Honua is about caring for that into earth where you come from.

Wherever that place is that you call home, it breaks my heart that our island here is just like a filter for all this plastic pollution, which in the ocean, using a lot of it, is winding up in Hawaii. Plus, the currents, the whole world, that is throwing away five water bottles, stick packages, netting, a stencil, sort of a car.

We also found black styrofoam. People, why throw away over 50,000 pounds of polystyrene, of styrofoam, every single day? Hawaii NC is the highest per capita user of styrofoam. Next to impossible to recycle, styrofoam is just economically, in vehicle reason why it's so detrimental.

It finds its way up the ocean food chain. It's all my mother's food, and they get not only the styrofoam from their bodies, like chemicals that have been absorbed onto it. We do suspect that having styrofoam, the paternal follows plastic; it can get caught in the intestines.

That can block foods; that can cause the turtle to starve to death. Avocados got to get food for their chicks. They come back and dance the plastic to their chick, and the chicks die from having all the plastic in the stomach. That is real food!

This all comes from albatross energy teaming up. This is—Wow—exists, is this right? In August, an amount of food. [Music]

So what we choose to do is really going to determine what our future is going to be like, whether you get to see posting photos, whether you get to see a healthy option. We can do something about this. This soon will be our world, and we're going to have to be protected.

The man said the styrofoam is actually used in Saeko foxes. There's no reason to have circles; all of this detox for snobs, like months. If you don't have new styrofoam nonsense, late lunch is if it's cheap, if it tastes good, and you can take it away.

It all comes back to us. It's really important to make new decisions and change our communities. We here are the [Music].

Whether you're from Hawaii, whether you're from Miami, Florida, we're all connected on this place that we all call home. It's up to each one of us, wherever we are, to care for that place. If we're responsible. [Music] [Music] [Music]
