'The change must come today. We can no longer afford the luxury of half-assing it as we willingly force ourselves beyond the threshold of no return.'
During his speech, Momoa addressed the planet as a whole but spoke passionately about the islands. “There are more plastic particles in the ocean than stars in the Milky Way. It is shameful. But the greatest threat to Small Island States.”
Momoa is no stranger to standing up for what he believes in. Fighting with local protestors to stop the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope on Hawaii’s beloved dormant volcano, Mauna Kea he, “It started in 2015, [I] heard the news about it and you know, it’s my home,” he said. “I’m Hawaiian. It’s my nationality. What’s happening over there was just not right. And I wanted to bring awareness to it.
Momoa studied marine biology at Des Moines Area Community College and then went on to major in wildlife biology at Colorado State, and his love of the environment was clear during his speech. “We must right the wrongs we have done against our children and grandchildren because we are gifting them with a world that suffers from our irresponsible stewardship,” he said. “Change cannot come in 2050 or 2030 or even 2025. The change must come today.
