Saunia e Mia Nishiguchi, Kalani High School<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le ola i se tau saogalemu ma le soifua maloloina e le o se avanoa-ae o la tatou aia tatau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Hawai'i ose fa'ameamea o aganu'u ma tagata. O lo tatou fanua ma le vasa pele e fa'amatala ai lo tatou olaga. O feso'ota'iga i le 'aina e masani ona le amanaiaina i lo tatou lalolagi o fa'alavelave; tatou te manatu m\u0101m\u0101 i o tatou motu matagofie. O Hawai'i o lo'o pito i luma o suiga o le tau e aofia ai le si'itia o le suasami, tafia i le gataifale, lamala i Maui ma le afi o Lahaina. O nei fa'alavelave o fa'amanatuga faifai pea o suiga o le tau e le o se fa'amata'u mamao. O nei mataupu o se fa\u02bbata\u02bbita\u02bbiga ma e mana\u02bbomia ona matou mana\u02bbomia vave, fa\u02bbamatalaga fa\u02bbamatalaga. O a tatou tupulaga talavou ma tupulaga o le lumana\u02bbi ua lamatia e aunoa ma le faia o gaioiga ma tiute i le taimi nei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le autalavou o taitai o taeao; ma i aso nei. O tupulaga talavou mai itu uma o le setete o lo\u02bbo laa i luga e fai fa\u02bbata\u02bbita\u02bbiga i nei mataupu muamua. O se tasi o fa\u02bbata\u02bbita\u02bbiga o le Climate Future Forum, lea tatou te fa\u02bbalauteleina ai leo o tupulaga talavou, fa\u02bbamautinoa e le na\u02bbo le aofia ai o tupulaga talavou i le suiga o le siosiomaga, ae o le ta\u02bbita\u02bbia muamua. Matou te fai ma sui o se vaega o tamaiti aoga maualuga e popole i le tulaga o lo matou tau. I nai tausaga talu ai, na faia ai e le Climate Future Forum le uluai mea na tupu i le State Capitol e fa\u02bbaaofia ai le autalavou i le faiga o tulafono. Ia Novema o le 2024, na matou faia ai le tele o le Climate Future Forum lea na matou va\u02bbaia ma le 20+ fa\u02bbalapotopotoga o lo\u02bbo auai, 80+ ta\u02bbita\u02bbi talavou o lo\u02bbo auai i talanoaga anoa ma le au fai tulafono, lima fa\u02bbavae faiga fa\u02bbavae, tele fa\u02bbasalalauga ma le tele o faipule tuuto. Ae ui i lea, e le tatau ona na'o tatou tupulaga talavou e tausolomua e fesoasoani e fa'asaoina o latou lumana'i. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

E ala i le poto masani a le tagata lava ia i le galue i le Setete o le Setete mo Sui Kapela ma le tusiaina o se iugafono mo se Vaiaso o le Tau e aloaia e le DOE e tuuina atu i lenei fono faitulafono, ua ou maua ai le malamalama tele i totonu ma fafo o le lala o le tulafono. O le faagasologa o le tusiaina o iugafono e mafai ai ona ou fesootai atu i tupulaga talavou ma taitai o le malo e fai le suiga ou te manao e vaai i ai i totonu o tatou nuu. O le tausolomua e faailoa atu mataupu tau le tau ia tatou tupulaga talavou o se avanoa ou te pele i lo\u02bbu loto. Ou te fa'amoemoe e pasia la matou fa'ai'uga i le fa'amoemoe e fa'amalosia tamaiti a'oga e faia ni la'asaga fa'atino aga'i atu i vaega e fiafia i ai, aemaise lava i lumana'i gafataulimaina. Ou te fuafua e tu'ufa'atasia ma tu'uina atu alagaoa e fa'amalosia ai i latou e fa'alautele o latou leo i le faia o fa'ai'uga. Ole Vaiaso ole Tau ole a tele sona aafiaga mo a'oga DOE. Ou te va\u02bbaia se vaiaso e amata ai e tamaiti a\u02bboga talanoaga e uiga i suiga o le tau, fa\u02bbatalanoa manatu fou, ma lagona le musuia e ave a latou fuafuaga i le lala o le tulafono. O le vaiaso o le a tatalaina ai faitotoa i ni fuafuaga fou ma nofoaga e fiafia i ai tamaiti aoga e faia ni suiga talafeagai. Ua ou a'oa'oina o faiga fa'avae e a'afia ai lo tatou si'osi'omaga e mafai ona fa'atinoina ma una'ia i le aofa'i sa'o o fa'amalosi ma fa'aupuga. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

O le faia o suiga i tulafono na foliga mai o se galuega mo tagata matutua ae le o se nofoaga mo talavou e maua ai se leo. E ala mai i faalapotopotoga e pei o le Climate Future Forum, Faitulafono e pei o Sui Kapela, ma taitai o le autalavou ou te galulue faatasi i aso taitasi, ua ou iloa ai e tofu i tatou uma ma se leo mamana e tatau ona tuuina atu. E ia te matou aia tatau uma e talosagaina ai tulafono e fa\u02bbamuamua ai malosiaga fa\u02bbafouina, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

a'oa'oga o le tau i totonu o a'oga ma lo tatou lumana'i atoa. E i ai ia i tatou uma le aia tatau e tuuina atu ai se molimau e lagolagoina pe teena ai ni pili patino, e faatulaga ai mea e tutupu, e faateleina ai o tatou leo, ma fautua mo se lumanai manuia mo tupulaga o lumanai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They say the future belongs to the next generation, but our future is being decided now. Policies, industries, and leaders are prioritizing profit over the fate of our future. We have the right to fight for a safe and healthy climate as stated in the Navahine Plaintiff case results and recognized by Gov. Green. Global and local disasters remind us all that inaction is not an option if we want a livable future. We must utilize our rights and shield the future we wish to see. One thought, one concept, or one idea can be the beginning of a globally-changing initiative. It\u2019s time we quit complaining and begin fighting. Fighting for a clean future is our fundamental right and we shall not stop until our voices are heard, policies are changed, and our future is secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
