minute paper 2/7/08

Today in class we were given post cards from the future, and we were told to read these post cards and try to interpret what the setting was like at that given point in time in hawaii. There were four differnet scenarios, which were all possible outcomes of the quality of life and standard of living in hawaii. The post card interpretations were ordered from least amount of change legislation, to most amount of legislation required to maintain the sustainibility of the islands. The moral of the story is that we need to discuss these emerging issues so that we can come together on a general consensous and prepare for the future and shape the future of tomorrow today.
