Loaʻa kā puke a Carey Gillam mai ka Island Press: ʻO Whitewash: ka moʻolelo o kahi mea hoʻomake mau loa, maʻi ʻaʻai, a me ka palaho o ka ʻepekema. ʻIliʻula loaa i ka ʻO ka makana puke kaiāulu ʻo Rachel Carson 2018 mai ka Society of Environmental Journalists a a ʻO ka makana medala gula 2018 mai nā mea hoʻopuka kūʻokoʻa.

Ma muli o 20 mau makahiki o ka noiʻi a me nā helu o nā palapala ʻoihana kūloko, ʻIliʻula kahi hoʻokolokolo paʻakikī i loko o ka mahiʻai mahiʻai i hoʻohana nui ʻia i ka mōʻaukala. No nā makahiki he nui i mahalo ʻia ai ka glyphosate ma ke ʻano he kemika e "palekana kūpono e inu," akā ʻo kahi kino o ka noiʻi ʻepekema e ulu nei e hoʻopaʻa i ka glyphosate i nā maʻi ʻaʻai a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli ʻē aʻe olakino a me nā kaiaola.

ʻIliʻula he "pono-heluhelu," wahi a Booklist.  Nā hōʻike manaʻo Kirkus Kāhea ʻIliʻula kahi "moʻolelo paʻakikī, kuʻi maka maka," a me "hoʻopaʻapaʻa ikaika no kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻoponopono mahiʻai e hoʻokau i ka hoihoi o ka lehulehu ma mua o nā loaʻa ʻoihana." ʻO ka ʻO ka Society for Environmental Journalists puke loiloi hōʻike ʻIliʻula ma ke ʻano he "gutsy," compelling read mai ka hoʻomaka a hiki i ka hopena, ʻoi aku no nā mea heluhelu e ʻoluʻolu nei i ke ʻano o ka paʻa ʻana o ka ihu, nā kāmaʻa kāmaʻa e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano o ka nūpepa nui. "

Q: Carey, ke hōʻike nei ʻoe i nā pesticides a me Monsanto no kahi o 20 mau makahiki. Ma ke ʻano he mea kākau moʻolelo, no ke aha he mea nui e kākau i kahi puke e pili ana i ke kumuhana? No ke aha i kēia manawa?

A: ʻike ka poʻe loea olakino ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i nā pesticides he mea kōkua nui i ke ʻano o nā pilikia olakino i hōʻeha ʻia e nā poʻe o nā makahiki āpau, akā he hapa o nā ʻoihana ikaika a koʻikoʻi hoʻi i hōʻoia i nā mea hana kulekele e maikaʻi nā pilikia i ke olakino a me ke olakino olakino. ke kumu kūʻai o nā makana a kēia mau kemika e lawe mai ai i ka hakakā ʻana i ka nāhelehele, nā ʻūlū, a i ʻole nā ​​mea kanu mea kanu. Ke hoʻohui nei kēia mau hui a lilo i mea mana loa, a ke hoʻohana nei i kā lākou mana e pahu i nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a kiʻekiʻe o nā pesticides weliweli i loko o ko mākou ola, e komo pū ana i loko o kā mākou ʻōnaehana meaʻai. Ua nalowale mākou i kahi ʻano akahele e pono ai e pili ana i kēia mau kemika, a ʻo kā Monsanto mau hana e hāpai i ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka glyphosate kekahi o nā laʻana maikaʻi loa e pili ana i ka ʻimi ʻana o kēia ʻoihana i nā loaʻa kālā ma mua o ka pale ʻana i ka lehulehu.

Q: ʻAʻole kamaʻāina paha ka poʻe me ka huaʻōlelo "glyphosate" a i ʻole "Roundup." He aha kēīa? No ke aha e makaʻala ai ka poʻe?

A: ʻO ka herbicide Roundup ka koi a Monsanto e kaulana. Ma mua o ka lawe ʻana mai i nā mea ulu ʻenekini genetically i ka mākeke, e hana ana ʻo Monsanto a kūʻai aku ana i ka mea pepehi kanaka makehewa Roundup. ʻO Glyphosate ka mea hana — nā mea e luku maoli i ka mauʻu — i Roundup. Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Glyphosate i nā huahana he haneli i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i nā māla mahiʻai, nā lau nahele a me nā māla, nā papa kolepa, nā pāka, a me nā pā pāʻani. ʻO ka pilikia ʻaʻole kokoke ia i ka palekana e like me kā Monsanto i mālama ai, a he mau makahiki he mau makahiki o ka noiʻi ʻepekema e hoʻopili iā ia i kahi ʻano o nā maʻi, e like me ka non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Ua ʻike ʻo Monsanto e pili ana i kēia mau pilikia a hana nui ʻo ia e hūnā iā lākou.

Ua ʻike ʻo Monsanto e pili ana i kēia mau pilikia a ua hana nui ʻo ia e hūnā iā lākou ʻoiai e hoʻolaha ana i ka hoʻohana hou aku. Kūkulu ʻia nā hua kanu ʻenekini a Monsanto e paipai i ka hoʻohana glyphosate. ʻO ke ʻano nui o ka moʻomeheu Monsanto i hoʻokomo i loko o kāna GMO soybeans, kānana, canola, beets kō, a me nā mea kanu he ʻano e ʻae i kēlā mau mea kanu e ola pono e pīpī pololei ʻia me ka glyphosate. Ma hope o ka hoʻolauna ʻana o Monsanto i kēia mau mea kanu "glyphosate-tolerant" i ka waena o nā makahiki 1990, ua lele lani ʻia ka hana glyphosate. E like me nā pesticides i hoʻohana ʻia i ka hana ʻana i ka meaʻai, ʻike mau ʻia nā koena glyphosate i ka meaʻai, e like me nā cereal, nā meaʻai māmā, ka meli, ka berena, a me nā huahana ʻē aʻe.

Q: Kākau ʻoe i kēlā ʻIliʻula hōʻike ua poina iā mākou nā haʻawina a Rachel Carson a Hoʻomaha Hao. He aha kou manaʻo no kēlā?

A: Ua hoʻomoe ʻo Carson i nā mea ʻino e pili ana i ka hoʻohana makepono ʻole o nā pesticides synthetic, a ua wānana ʻo ia i ka luku i hiki iā lākou ke lawe mai i kā mākou kaiaolaola. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo ia i ka ʻenehana kemika o ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka disinformation e pili ana i kā lākou huahana. ʻO kāna puke kahi ala ala i hāpai i ka neʻe ʻana o ke kaiapuni a alakaʻi i ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka Agency Protection Agency. Akā i loko o nā makahiki he hala aku, ua poina ka heluna lehulehu a ʻo ko mākou poʻe kālaiʻāina a me nā mea hoʻokele i ka pono o ka akahele a me ka nānā ʻana i ka hana ʻana i kēia mau pesticides a me nā ʻoihana e loaʻa pono iā lākou. ʻIke ʻoe i kahi pahu e ko mākou alakaʻi alakaʻi politika no ka liʻiliʻi o nā kānāwai, no ka hoʻohana hou ʻole ʻia o glyphosate a me nā pesticides ʻē aʻe i kā mākou hana meaʻai kipaku ʻia aʻe.

Q: Loaʻa iā ʻoe nā kamaʻilio ʻoihana a me nā palapala hoʻonohonoho e hōʻike i ka hōʻike o ka hopena o nā ʻoihana i nā ʻoihana hoʻoponopono e like me ka EPA. Lawe anei nā hōʻike āu i wehe ai i kahi mea hou e pili ana i ke aniau politika o kēia manawa i ka US? Pehea e hiki ai i ka poʻe ke mālama i nā keʻena hoʻokele no ka hana ʻana i ka pono o ka lehulehu.

A: ʻAe, maopopo leʻa i ka hauʻoli ʻana o Monsanto a me nā kānaka nunui e like me Dow Chemical i ka loli nui me nā mea hoʻokele, ʻo ka poʻe pono e pale aku i ka lehulehu. Hoʻohana nā ʻoihana i kā lākou kālā a me ka mana kālaiʻāina e hoʻohuli i ka hoʻoholo hoʻoholo ʻana a me nā loiloi ʻepekema i loko o nā keʻena hoʻokele. Inā makemake mākou nā mea kūʻai aku a me nā ʻauhau e pale aku i kā mākou keiki, i ko mākou ʻohana, i ka wā e hiki mai ana, pono mākou e nānā, aʻo iā mākou iho i kēia mau pilikia, kākau a kāhea i kā mākou poʻe kau kānāwai, a kākoʻo i nā hui e hana nei no mākou e pale aku i ko mākou olakino a me ka nohona. Pono mākou e hoʻoikaika i nā kulekele e pale ai i ka lehulehu, ʻaʻole nā ​​waiwai o nā ʻoihana nui. Nui ʻo Kapitalism — ka ʻimi ʻana i ka waiwai ma o kahi mākeke manuahi e hāʻawi i nā mea maikaʻi he maikaʻi, ʻoiaʻiʻo nō ia. Akā ke hāʻawi mākou i nā papa hana ʻoihana ʻoihana i mua o ke olakino a me ke olakino o ko mākou poʻe a me kā mākou Honua ke mōhai nui nei mākou.

Q: Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Monsanto e censor a hōʻino iā ʻoe i kou wā i paʻi ai i nā moʻolelo i kūʻē i kā lākou mau pono ʻoihana. He aha nā hoʻolālā e hiki ai i ka poʻe nūpepa - a i ʻole nā ​​ʻepekema ke hoʻohana ke kū i mua o kēia pahuhoho He aha nā pili inā ʻaʻole lākou?

A: Monsanto, a me nā hui i kākoʻo ʻia e Monsanto, ua hana maoli e hōʻino i kaʻu hana no nā makahiki he nui. Akā ʻaʻole wau hoʻokahi; ua hele lākou ma hope o nā mea kūkala nūhou mai kahi papa o nā nūhou nui, e like me ka New York Times, a me nā ʻepekema hoʻi, nā kālaiʻike, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e komo hohonu i nā mea huna a lākou e makemake ai e hūnā. ʻIke wau iā ia ma ke ʻano he inoa hanohano a Monsanto a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka ʻoihana kemika e hoʻoweliweli ʻia e kā mākou hana e hoʻouka iā mākou. ʻAʻole maʻalahi ia, no ka poʻe nūpepa, e hoʻopiʻi i ka mīkini propaganda ʻoihana.

Hele pū nā mea hōʻike me ka pāʻani, hana hou i nā helu kamaʻilio, a paʻi i nā moʻolelo e kākoʻo i nā pono ʻoihana me ka makemake i ke komo ʻana i nā luna kiʻekiʻe a hāʻawi ʻia i nā moʻolelo "kūʻokoʻa" e pili ana i nā huahana hou a i ʻole nā ​​hoʻolālā hou, nā mea a pau i helu i nā helu bonus me nā luna hoʻoponopono. . I ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, nā mea kūkala nūhou e kūʻē i ka palaoa, nā mea i hōʻike e pili ana i ka noiʻi hou ʻole, a i ʻole e kuhikuhi ana i nā kūleʻa a i ʻole nā ​​makaʻu paha o kekahi huahana ʻike pinepine lākou i ka loaʻa ʻole o nā luna nui. Hāʻawi ʻia ka hoʻokūkū no nā nīnauele me nā luna ʻoihana ʻoihana ʻoiai ʻo ka poʻe kūkala nūhou ʻole e pāʻani i ka pāʻani, ʻike ʻia ko lākou loiloi i ka hōʻeha a hōʻino ʻia a lilo i kumuhana o nā hoʻopiʻi kūmau e nā pono ʻoihana i kā lākou hoʻoponopono.

He aha ka mea e hiki ai ke hana? Pono nā luna hoʻoponopono a me nā mea kūkala nūhou e nānā i ko lākou mau iwikuamoʻo, e ʻike i ka hana a ka mea kākau moʻolelo e ʻike i ka moʻolelo ma hope o ka wili, e nīnau i nā nīnau hōʻoluʻolu ʻole a e hoʻokau i ka pili pono i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo a me ka maopopo wale nō. Ke nalowale mākou i ka nūpepa kūʻokoʻa ʻoiaʻiʻo, ke lohe wale nei mākou i ka mea a ka mea mana e makemake ai e lohe, hōʻoia ʻia ʻo ka poʻe mana ʻole ka mea e uku ana i ke kumukūʻai.

Q: Ua nīnauele ʻoe i kahi nui o ka poʻe no kēia puke, me nā ʻepekema, nā mahiʻai, a me nā mea hoʻokele. Aia paha kahi kamaʻilio a moʻolelo paha e kū iā ʻoe?

A: Ua ninaninau wau i mau kaukani mau kānaka ma luna o kaʻu ʻoihana, mai nā ʻano politika nui a koʻikoʻi i kēlā me kēia lā i nā kāne a me nā wahine, a ʻike wau ʻo ia mau ka poʻe e ʻaʻa ʻole ana, kēlā mau "lāhui maʻamau" e hopu i koʻu puʻuwai. I ka noiʻi ʻana i kēia puke, ʻo ka moʻolelo pākahi i pili pū me aʻu, ʻo ia ʻo Teri McCall, ka mea a kāna kāne ʻo Jack i ʻehaʻeha ai ma mua o ka make ʻana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai i ka lā ma hope o ke Kalikimaka ma 2015. Ua noho ka ʻohana McCall i kahi ola mālie a maʻalahi hoʻi, e hānai ana i nā avocadoes a me nā ʻano like ʻole. nā hua citrus ma kā lākou mahiʻai ʻo Cambria, Kaleponi, me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i nā pesticides ʻē aʻe ma mua o Roundup i kā lākou māla. ʻO ka make ʻana o Jacks mai ka lymphoma non-Hodgkin, kahi ʻano maʻi ʻaʻai e pili ana i glyphosate, i luku loa ʻia ʻo Teri a me kāna mau keiki a me kāna moʻopuna. Ua hōʻike ʻo ia i ka lokomaikaʻi a me ka ikaika a ua hāʻawi mai ʻo ia iaʻu i ka nui o kona manawa — a me kona mau waimaka — i ka haʻi ʻana mai iaʻu i ka moʻolelo a Jack. He wahine aʻu e mahalo nui ai.

ʻOiai he nui nā mea ʻē aʻe aʻu i aʻo ai mai, ka mea aʻu e manaʻo ai, e like me nā ʻepekema i hakakā e paʻi i ka noiʻi, i ʻimi ʻia a i ʻole ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻole no kā lākou ʻike i ka ʻino e pili ana i ka glyphosate a me nā pesticides ʻē aʻe. A nā mahiʻai — Nui koʻu manaʻo i ka poʻe mahiʻai ma ka nui, me kēlā me kēia nīnauele ʻia no kēia puke. ʻO ka hana a lākou e hāpai ai i kā mākou meaʻai he mea paʻakikī loa ia a aia lākou i ka laina mua o nā pōʻino pesticide i kēlā me kēia lā.

ʻO ka hāʻule Jaw ka ala maikaʻi loa e wehewehe ai i kekahi o nā palapala aʻu i wehe ai a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe.

Q: Ua bapetizo ʻia ʻoe i kēia kumuhana no nā makahiki. Aia kekahi mea i loaʻa iā ʻoe i ka papa noiʻi a me ke kākau ʻana i kēia puke i hoʻopūʻiwa aku iā ʻoe?

A: ʻO ka hāʻule Jaw ka ala maikaʻi loa e wehewehe ai i kekahi o nā palapala aʻu i wehe ai a me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana ma hope o ka pale, e heluhelu ana i kā lākou ʻōlelo ponoʻī i ka hana ʻana a nā ʻenekini ʻoihana e hana pono i ka ʻepekema, e alakaʻi hewa i nā mea kūʻai aku a me nā mea kālai'āina. Ma ke ʻano he mea kākau moʻolelo lōʻihi, he ʻano cynic paʻakikī wau. Eia nō naʻe, ka hohonu o ka hoʻopunipuni i waiho ʻia i loko o kēia mau palapala, a me nā palapala ʻē aʻe e ʻike nei, he mea kupaianaha ia.

Q: He aha kou manaʻo e lawe aku ai ka poʻe heluhelu ʻIliʻula?

A: He mea kākau ma New York Times haʻi iaʻu ma hope o ka heluhelu ʻana ʻIliʻula makaʻu ʻo ia e ʻai i kekahi mea i loko o kāna pahu hau no ka ʻike o ka puke e pili ana i ke ʻano o nā koena pesticide i loaʻa i nā huahana meaʻai he nui. ʻAʻole kēlā kaʻu pahuhopu, e hoʻonāukiuki a makaʻu paha i ka poʻe. Akā lana koʻu manaʻo e hoʻoneʻe ʻia ka poʻe heluhelu e noʻonoʻo nui e pili ana i ka hana ʻana o kā mākou meaʻai, pehea mākou e hoʻohana ai i nā pesticides synthetic weliweli ʻaʻole wale ma nā mahiʻai akā ma nā pā kula a me nā pāka kahi e pāʻani ai kā mākou keiki.

A lana koʻu manaʻo e makemake lākou e komo i ke kūkākūkā nui a hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana pehea mākou e kūkulu ai i kahi wā e hiki mai ana e kaulike pono i nā pilikia a me nā uku e pili ana i kēia mau pesticides. E like me ʻIliʻula hōʻike, hoʻolālā ʻia ka ʻōnaehana o kēia manawa e hōʻuluʻulu i nā loaʻa ʻoihana ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka nohona lōʻihi a me ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka hana ʻana i ka meaʻai. Nui nā mana ikaika i ka hana e mālama i ke kūlana quo, e hoʻomau i ka pahu ʻana i nā pesticides weliweli, kokoke i lalo i ko mākou ʻāʻī. Aia i nā koena o mākou e pahu aku ai i hope.
