Support Res. 234-25
Aloha Committee Members,
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'aina.Please support this resolution to protect the land, water, and people of Hawai'i.
Mahalo,
Milo
