Malama the Aina

The video we watched about pollution was disgusting.  I myself feel its unnecessary to throw gum wrappers on the ground when you can put it in your pocket and wait until your reach a trash can.  A local saying that I stick with to keep me from polluting is "Malama the Aina" which means to nurture our land.  It gave me a wake up call to reality to notice that not all people like to recycle or just too lazy and impatient to walk to the nearest trash can.  The scenes in the video of where there was trash in the water look so nasty! How could people drive past that?  It not only effects us human being but the animals that live in this water, that drink from it.  I think our economy can change eventually.  It'll just take time for everyone to realize the importance of recycling and how simple we can decrease pollution by not throwing it into the sewer but instead using the trash can:)
