Implications
Are the changes to this population or place sustainable?
The changes to this place/population are very sustainable. Most of the population of Mililani has installed Solar Panels onto their house to harvest the energy of the sun to fuel their homes. Much of Mililani is making the shift to living more sustainably, especially involving food. Mililani Uka and Mililani Mauka already have gardens in collaboration with the Kokua Hawaii Foundation and have incorporated garden-based learning into their curriculum.
Do your observations and findings lead you to believe this population or habitat will exist for future generations?
With our research we can determine that this habitat will exist for future generations because of the initiative that the population of Mililani is taking to take care of our environment and educate the younger generations on how to care for your home and habitat.
What are the social, political, intellectual, cultural, and/or economic implications related to the sustainability of this population or habitat?
If gardens are implemented in these habitats, then it will have a paramount effect on these habitats’ sustainability. Students will be more knowledgeable about science and biology through the study of these plants, the health of students would improve do to increased nutrition from garden food, the biodiversity of these areas would increase, and more animals would also be able to thrive in these areas due to increased vegetation.
