When people are asked to image the picture of Hawaii, the first thing comes up in our mind will be sunshine, beach or fresh air. However, the environment of Hawaii is becoming worse and worse because of the development of cornfields. Therefore, the conflict and battle occur. Since Monsanto and other seed companies moved their factories to here, the residents of corn farms Hawaii gradually be aware of that they were exposed to dust and pesticides. The corn farms have polluted the air which force the residents to close their windows and install central air-conditioning. Consequently, some of the people start to group together and against these farms Couple weeks ago, legislative committees on the islands of Kauai and Hawaii have approved proposed ordinances that would restrict the ability of the seed companies to operate. It seems like a good ending. However, it is too early to define this case before we think about the opinion of their opponents.The companies states that their farms are safe and green and the industry is also essential to Hawaii’s economy. Honestly, we do can see that the seeds are Hawaii’s leading agricultural commodity which contributing $264 million to the economy and 1,400 jobs, according to a study commissioned by the companies.
As far as I am concerned, the companies are threaten by environmentalists because of the output of pollution. If the companies wants to keep running, they should put this on the first place to deal with. For example, they can begin to pay a part of attention on improving their technology and then reduce the pollution. It makes no sense to simply claim that their operations are safe. On the other hand, it is obvious that they did a bad job on the customer relationship. People will not surrender when their important benefit is under attacked. I suggest that the operations can properly donate some money on protecting environment to build a favorable public image.
