Please vote to reject this plan from moving on. Some reasons this plan needs to be changed; 1. Climate change agenda or more specifically, climate crisis. There are many,thousands of scientists who do not believe the world and especially Hawaii is in a climate crisis and the 2045 plan should not revolve around these issues when planning for our families future. There is no absolute proof that we are in crisis. In fact there is evidence of weather manipulation all over the world especially when it pertains to these "climate crisis" events. htti2s:Hclintel.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/WCD-241023.pdf 2. The County Office of Sustainability, Climate, Equity and Resilience is DEI and is dangerous to our sovereignty as citizens of the United States of America and in Hawaii. On page 188, 40.8 Require all County departments to collaborate with the County Office of Sustainability, Climate, Equity, and Resilience (OSCER) as the lead agency to ensure the integration of the County's goals of Sustainability, climate resilience, and equity into all county operations and planning initiatives. Has this agency helped Hawaii citizens to get faster,more streamlined approvals on building permits? This would be an important agenda above climate resilience and equity. The OSCER department can null and void all public input and leave decisions to unelected officials. I do not think this department acts in the Hawaiian pono way as is described in this HI General Plan 2045 glossary. Please consider more community input that can help Big Island continue to grow in beauty and in grace considering our future keiki. Our children are unable to purchase land or house in this horrible economy. Consider ways we can streamline the building process, allowing the Ohanas again will help. We need to promote more farming. Give incentives to those who can produce and in so doing sustain our communities. Having access to fresh foods and implementing ways to feed the island more than importing. Improving the infrastructure on Big Island including the public transportation system. Creating jobs by building recycling centers that truly break down and recycle the electronic components and or automobiles/parts similarly instead of filling up a container and shipping these things to the mainland. Also, "green" batteries are not recyclable and dangerous to everyone. The "green scam" is not good anywhere. We have a shortage of doctors and specialists on the island. We can improve in these areas,not making more green spaces for people to walk in circles and be limited to their 15 minute smart city.
