Hawaii

Global warming is the ongoing rise of the average temperature of the Earth's climate system which has various negative effects.

Economics

Overpopulation creates an increased demand for energy as well as having negative effects on our environment and ecosystems.

Resident

There are 1 410 000 resident in 2020.

Money

Their currency is the dollar

Main Industry

Overfishing is the removal of a species of fish from a body of water at a rate that the species cannot replenish, resulting in those species becoming underpopulated in that area.

This will lead to a Marine Ecosystem imbalance with time.

The major components of the local economy are agriculture, forestry and fishing.

Geography

Climate change is likely to both increase electricity demand for cooling in the summer and decrease electricity, natural gas, heating oil, and wood demand for heating in the winter.

Island

Hawaii made 28 311 km2

Capital

The capital is Honolulu

Location

The archipelago is part of Polynesia and is locted in the centre of the North Pacific Ocean.

Nickname

Finding reusable energy sources can be our first step towards conserving our environment.

The nickname is "The aloha State"

Ocean

How will climate change affect the production of clean energy?

e.g.: solar, wind, water

Hawaii located in the Pacific Ocean about 2,000 miles from the USA mainland

Unique geography

New infrastructure investments may be necessary to meet increased energy demand.

e.g.: nuclear power plants

Hawaii is volcanic island. It's the only U.S State outside North America, the only state that is an archipelago and the only state geographically located within the tropics.

History

The archipelago had been inhabited by Polynesian people for several centuries when the british explorer James Cook arrived in 1778, who named it "the Sandwish island". It was succeeded by an ephemeral republic of Hawaii ( 1894-1898 ) and the territory of Hawaii, created during the annexation of the archipelago by the US. in december 1941, the island of Oahu was the scene of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The territory was dissolved in 1959 when Hawaii became the 50th American States.

Culture

Healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity are fundamental to life on our planet.

Even small changes in average temperatures can have a significant effect upon ecosystems.

Food

Many traditional Hawaiian foods are dishes originallyy brought over from Pacific Polynesian island. Otherwise there is "Poi, Laulau, Kalua Pig, poke, Lomi, Salmon,..."

Oficial language

The official language is Hawaiian and English

Religious

The inter-connected nature of ecosystems means that the loss of species can have knock-on effects upon a range of ecosystem functions.

e.g. bees go extinct

According to the official statistics, it is estimated that there are 29% Christians, 44% protestants and 22%Catholics.

Tradition

Climate change will affect mountain and lowland ecosystems, the diversity of wildlife, and the distribution of freshwater.

e.g.: natural habitat disappearing

It's hobies are music, art, theater, dance, films, cooking and many festivals

Landscape

Climate change is supported by scientific evidence.

Strip

Write down the consequences caused by this issue and how it will affect our lives and the environment in the future.

e.g.: flooding, rainfall increase

It's a tourist and scientific destination.

Write down the consequences caused by the melting of the ice-caps and how it will affect our lives and the environment in the future.

e.g.: decreasing of polar bear habitat

Very active volcanic land capes. It's a natural heritage.

Climat

Write down the consequences caused by this issue and how it will affect our lives and the environment in the future.

e.g.: decreasing of land surface

The climate is tropical and humide

Politics

The governor is David Ige. Josh Green is a lieutnant governor. The senetors are Briand Schatz and Mazie Hirono.
