Why was water not made available during the Maui fire? Equity, of course!
-
What if a privileged person got the water before a disadvantaged person?
That would be terrible!
access to water conditional on "conversations about equity."
Good.
And this from M. Kaleo Manuel, who was deputy director of the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management
"My motto is always like, 'Let water connect us and not divide us,'" Manuel said in a resurfaced clip. "We can share it, but it requires true conversations about equity."
"We've become used to looking at water as something which we use and not necessarily something that we revere," Manuel added.
Thank goodness someone has priorities straight.
