Best Environmental Issue
GMOs
We’re going to assume, given your answer to the State blunder category, that you’re naming genetically modified organisms the county’s best environmental issue because you feel that they’re not a good thing. And while GMOs are a big issue everywhere–Americans have been eating genetically modified products for a couple decades now, they’re especially big here. Look at all the acreage powerful Monsanto has dedicated to GMO corn, as well as the University of Hawaii’s creation of a genetically modified papaya that’s immune to the dreaded ringspot virus, which university officials say could have wiped out the state’s entire papaya crop. And given the upcoming Maui County ballot measure that would ban genetically modified crops, it’s likely we’ll be discussing GMOs well into the future. @apignataro
