US military activity in Hawai’i harms the environment and erodes Native sovereignty

The military’s abuse of Hawai’i’s land and sea and its impact on climate change is part of the ongoing oppression of Native Hawaiians
75% of the country’s Superfund sites—toxic, contaminated land unfit for human living—are former military bases. Military and war-making chemicals, like explosives, perchlorate, benzene, and other chemical weapons, seep into the soil and groundwater systems.
