essay by taylor aitaro

What can I do to protect the environment?

I can start picking up trash when I see it. I can make it an effort to Recycle, reduce and reuse more. I can also start reminding people how precious and fragile the world is and that we should protect it.

Why is Niu important?

Niu is important because it helps us understand that are trash

effects lots of people around the world. Niu shows us the currents

around Hawaii and where are trash goes. It also shows that even though we are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean by ourselves we still can make a difference so we should start helping the Earth not destroying it.

What did I learn from doing this project?

I learned that the ancient Hawaiians depended on the watershed a lot more than we today do. I found out that you could track things by using satellites in space, which we are using to track Niu. I also learned lots of things about the old Hawaiians such as Waimea means sacred water, and that the Hawaiians built temples to honor there gods, like the one they built for there fish god near Waimea. The main thing I learned is that we are all connected. which means we are all affected by pollution and we need to stop it together.
