Cane burns once every 18 to 24 months or less. Cane absorbs carbon monoxide during that time. BTW, read the Maui News and other stories and see how dry the isthmus of Maui truly is in the old days. Imagine the winds with no cane everyday...or better yet, visit Lahaina on a windy dusty day after Pioneer Mill closed.
Cane does NOT burn daily...fields that are scheduled to burn are burned 18 months after the field is planted during "harvest season."... which ranges from late spring through late summer... not year round...do you even live in Hawaii Nei?
it's june 6th, 2008, 7:46am it's "black-snowing" right now, just as it it did yesterday and a couple of days ago. Maybe, I should post on YouTube a video of 'black snow' on Maui everytime it happens?
By the way, where did you get the idea that "sugar cane absorbs carbon monoxide during that time" (for anyone having even rudimentary knowledge of physics, chemistry and biology, it's a laughable statement) . It's scary how ignorant one needs to be to say something like that.
+ YES I do live on Maui. If you realy stand by what you say, let's make a deal. I will pay you $10 for each weak in which there is no sugar cane burning and you pay me $10 for each week there is.
Aloha Euhnomon. Response 1 of 2. Please re-read my posts. I did not say that burning occurs only ever 1 ½ or 2 years...I noted fields.
As you know, there are over 30k++ sugar acres on Maui. Fields (100+acres) are planted in a staggered time therefore harvesting/burning in a staggered time period & as you posted, mostly everyday. I posted...not everyday. Therefore, we actually didn't disagree. However, you took your comments further...see 2 of 2.
Stupid Video! the locals been living with this all their lives and u peepo come to live on Maui to complain about everything!If u dont like it. go back to where u came from! LET THE CANE FIRE BURN!!!
I hate that shit, they burn surger cane, and it blows straight to Kihei. When I wake up my hole house smells like smoke. My friend has been sick almost his hole life because of this shit!
I think you're right, no one has issued any lab tests afaik? THAT FACT alone, speaks of politics at play, wouldn't you agree? Or better, work on it and that can be your job!
Cane burning sucks!!!! But it is such a hot issue because it is like local verses haole. Locals say this is what we did before you got here and the haole say I don't care I am here now do what I like! The truth is there is nothing Hawaiian about burning cane. The haole brought the cane industry here and now the haole complain. Same ole shit different generation!!
Yup! That's the problem with our world, the old systems, just keep in power by keeping folks in fear! What is needed is a complete overhaul of all social systems and review of America's present party system, that is no party at all! Politics is a matter of personal pereference and creativity. We are (cyberspace cadets) beginning to evolve our world, hopefully we will reach those not lucky to be online with needed changes to planetary general systems design.
Dont call it a trdition, dont call it the way we do things.. its not.. even tho im not from there i know that this is not the kupuna way to take take from mother earth and never give back... Ku E!
It is not snow, as I say upfront in the video, LIKE BLACK SNOW I explain, going into detail. You have missed that that title is an alligorical point/reference.
Hehe, that stuff has fallen on my house a lot. I love it! You can squish it in your hand, and it gets all powdery! Then you can stick it in somebody's face! I live on Maui, so I see soot fall from time to time...
plastic irrigation pipe is burned along with the cane, really very toxic, and this is just the tip of the toxic iceberg as euro-american culture increases it's stranglehold on what was once paradise, meanwhile real estate prices continue to climb as more trophy homes are built inside gated communities to be occupied perhaps 1 or 2 weeks a year and affordable housing is a promise that never materializes
Its hell here for asthmatics, especially in the summer. As it is, with more mainlanders moving to Maui, the aloha spirit seems to be fading (on the roads especially) and the cigarette smoking ruins the sweet smell of the Maui mornings.
This has been flagged as spam show
use to call this hawaiian snow. outsiders always complaining. learn about the area and culture before u move hea. u don't like it? move.

Black-snowing again in "paradise".
It's about 08:00 a.m. June 26th, 2008.
I videoed it, so maybe, if I am not lazy, I will post it here later.
Mauikine3k: are you still claiming that it only happens once in a year and a half or even once in 2 years.
