Subject Line: Support Res. 234-25
Aloha Committee Members,) strongly support this resolution.US Military training at Pohakuloa
has already caused serious harm -burning nearly 20,000 acres, contaminating the land, and
threatening endangered species. Beneath this area lies a major aquifer that supplies fresh water
to Hawai'i Island, and the military's track record shows they are not equipped to protect it.There
is also serious concern about depleted uranium left in the soil, which can become airborne
during exercises and has known health risks.Pohakuloa is a wahi pana- a sacred place with deep
cultural and ecological significance. Continued military use is incompatible with its conservation
status and the values of aloha 'a!na.Please support this resolution to protect the land, water, and
people of Hawai'i.Mahalo,
[Your Name]
[Town]
Mahalo for taking action!
