*[Enwl-eng] Elon Musk's rockets threaten Hawai'i's protected oceans

[ENWL]

                        Don't let Elon Musk's space junk threaten endangered species and precious ecosystems.

                        Hawai'i is under threat again — this time, not from natural disasters, but from the reckless ambitions of billionaires who think their wealth entitles them to exploit these sacred lands and waters.

                        Right now, Elon Musk's SpaceX is petitioning the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), asking it to expand the company's experimental rocket landing zone in the Pacific Ocean near Hawai'i. This includes areas dangerously close to the strict nature reserve of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument.

                        A UNESCO World Heritage site, Papahānaumokuākea is an ocean sanctuary spanning over 1.5 million square kilometers. This marine monument hosts an extraordinary diversity of life, from endangered sea turtles and majestic whales to vibrant coral reefs.

                        Beyond its ecological importance, it holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for Native Hawaiians. Allowing SpaceX to crash debris into these waters is nothing short of desecration.

                        This is more than an environmental issue. It's a continuation of a painful pattern of exploitation. From Mark Zuckerberg's attempts to claim Native Hawaiian lands to Musk's disregard for its ecosystems, wealthy oligarchs have repeatedly treated Hawai'i as their personal playground. They fail to see the people, the culture, and the fragile beauty they threaten to destroy.

                        Let's send a clear message: Hawai'i's oceans and ecosystems are not experimental dumping grounds. We will not allow billionaires to desecrate sacred spaces for profit and ego. Sign this petition to demand the FAA deny SpaceX's reckless request to expand its rocket landing zones.


                       
                 
           
                       
                 Thank you,
