That change is taking <br /> place in both the ecosystems of the island and in the nature of human settlements. <br /> An island that has the rainfall, soil and climate to grow practically anything, open spaces accessible to the public <br /> where the experience of wilderness is still possible, a rural culture that values the land these and other beautiful <br /> aspects of our island are being destroyed by the bull dozer, the subdivisions, the gated communities, the resort <br /> hotels, and the traffic piling up. <br /> Bills 78 and 79 offer an opportunity to at least take some of the most valuable parts of what is left out of harm's <br /> <br /> way. <br /> We urge you to support these bills and begin a process of truly protecting what many of us value most about our <br /> home. <br /> Thank you for considering our views. <br /> <br /> Aloha, <br /> Lanny Sinkin and Mary Rose Sinkin <br /> Comm.
