I ka wā ma mua, ua ʻeli ʻia nā one a me nā pōhaku i hoʻohana ʻia i ke kūkulu hale. I kēia manawa, ma muli o ka pōʻino o ka mining uncontrolled i ke ʻano kaiaola, ma hope o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ke kānāwai kaiaola, ua kaupalena ʻia ke one a me ka mining pōhaku, a ua lilo ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke one a me nā pōhaku i mea wela o ka hopohopo ākea. Ma waena o lākou, pehea ka ikaika o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka laina hana mīkini pōhaku nui i ke one a me ka pōhaku?

E like me kā mākou e ʻike ai, me ka hoʻohana palena ʻole ʻana i ke one a me ka pōhaku, huli nā ʻoihana he nui i ka hana ʻōpala paʻa. Ma ka ʻohi ʻana i nā kumu waiwai ʻōpala paʻa e like me ka ʻōpala kūkulu ʻana, ke koena ʻōpala ʻoihana, ke koena huelo, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, hiki iā lākou ke hana i ke one a me ka pōhaku i hoʻohana hou ʻia e hoʻololi i ke one maoli a me ka pōhaku. I kēia manawa, ua lilo ke one i hoʻohana hou ʻia i nā huahana mineral nui loa a me nā mea kūkulu hale ma ke ʻano, a ua lilo ʻo Kina i mākeke noi nui loa o ka honua no ke one hana hou. ʻO ka hoʻohana makahiki ʻana i ke one ʻōpala paʻa ma kahi o 20 biliona tons, ʻo ia ka hapalua o ka huina honua. Aʻo ka mīkini brick maʻamau a me ka laina hana nui o nā huahana brick,ʻo kāna mau mea hana e noho i kahi hapa nui o lākou.

Ma kahi o 20% ka nui o ka ʻōpala paʻa i loko o nā pōhaku lepo maʻamau i hana ʻia e ka mīkini, a ʻaʻole kiʻekiʻe ka nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻōpala paʻa, akā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka nui. Ma o ka hana hou ʻana o ka ʻenehana a me ka manaʻo, ʻoi aku ka nui o ke one ʻōpala paʻa a me ka pōhaku i ka laina hana o ka mīkini brick nui ma mua o ʻelua ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka ʻenehana brick maʻamau i hana ʻia, ʻo ia ka holomua o ka ʻenehana hana ʻenehana a me ka ʻenehana alakaʻi.

ʻO ke kūkulu ʻana i ka civilization ecological ka ulu lōʻihi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ko mākou ʻāina. No laila, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohana a hoʻohana makapō i nā kumuwaiwai kūlohelohe, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kumu kumu o ka hānau ʻana o ka pōhaku one hoʻohou. Me nā mea pani, e hoʻomaikaʻi maoli ʻia ka helu hoʻohana. Ma o ka noiʻi hohonu e pili ana i nā ʻāpana ʻōpala paʻa like ʻole a me ka nānā ʻana i nā mīkini molekala, ua lanakila ka poʻe noiʻi ʻepekema ʻo Honcha i nā pilikia ʻenehana i ka ʻoihana ma hope o kekahi mau makahiki, hana i ka ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe a me ka ʻenehana extrusion, a hoʻonohonoho iā ia i loko o ka nui-nui o ka mīkini mīkini hana laina lako, me ka hana pōhaku.
