Episode 75: Storm Drains with Darrian Muraoka - Waiwai Ola X Maestros Vibe X Earth Week

Today, Juan Espinal, from Maestros Vibe, sits down with special co-host Rae Tereari'i Chandler 'Iao, from Waiwai Ola Ohana, to interview and talk story with Darrian Muraoka, an impactful student from the University of Hawai'i. We talk about water! We talk about what life was like in the islands when the tourists left due to Covid-19.Tourism affects our environment. There is a belief and hope that things can be repaired. We are not giving up. This message is Hawaii-centric, though it can be applied worldwide. This is the start of Pono Science; breaking down our studies into categories to truly understand the legacy of our pollution. We can see the detriments of pollution in our water. All drains lead to waterways. We can build awareness as students and stewards with responsibility in mind. There is a great importance in localized knowledge. Some humans may think it is okay to dump motor oil in our drains. It is not okay to do this. We can pollute in many different ways. There is an impact on our actions. Climate change will affect our communities. There are things we can do and we can start now. We can affect positive change on our legacy pollution. There is a great amount of value in forest management and connecting to our fish ponds. There is importance in data gathering to help support clean water initiatives. Students, like Darrian, think about this every day. Water is our responsibility. “If not us, then who? If not now, then when?” Waiwai Ola Ohana: Volunteer Week Hawaii: Maestros Vibe Patreon:
