Lahaina used to be a wetland. Nature didn't turn the historic Hawaiian community into a tinderbox. People did: As the world’s eyes fixed on the community, Ing said Lahaina’s pre-colonial history is particularly important for people to know—not just for the sake of Lahaina’s Native residents, but bc it reveals the deeply unnatural roots of this so-called “natural” disaster. It was only because of colonization & CC that it became a tinderbox. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmegency https://heated.world/p/lahaina-used-to-be-wetland
