Cuba Video-need for change

 I really enjoyed the Cuba video last class and I found that after I watched it more and more interactions took place at home on Kaua'i that supported the necessary change in our current food health safety, and sustainability situation.
 Currently Kaua'i is a hotspot for GMO testing. Unfortunately we are in waiting to see the consequences of these experiments although every time I return home I am informed of yet more and more cancer cases and other ailments affecting friends and family. I have been in contact with friends/farmers and have suggested starting La'au plots and eco-friendly,sustainable farming for those who have access to land on Kaua'i in order to plant seeds of change. While doing so I've referred to the Cuba video in introducing the idea of community based agricultural projects(self-sustainability) and less reliance on imported goods. I was impacted greatly by the Cuba video because it reinforces the need for ecological concern and dire need for change. It showed me that we don't need nearly as much as we use, as far as chemicals, oil, and other imports that we've deemed "necessary" and that if we can begin to change and resist the destruction of our land (GMOs/other) that we can begin to halt further devastation and encourage restoration as best we can, into a state of "sust'ĀINAbility."
