If only they knew the dangers of aluminium they would instantly return to using banana leaves.
I thought the same thing. Someone should tell them that cooking all of their food in the aluminum foil releases the aluminum into their food and into their bodies. I have quit baking and cooking with aluminum foil almost completely. If I do need to line a pan or dish with foil, I always put a layer of parchment paper between my food and the foil, never letting the aluminum foil touch the food. But mostly I just don't use aluminum foil at all.
@@bizzybee852 Broo your talk needs to go to those companies that make them, then the Government that allow them to be sold. And to think THATS ALL YOU MUPPETS took from this. NARROW MINDED MUCH

😂 gobshite comment
Aluminium is a known neurotoxin. Prof Chris Exley biopsied 50 brains and found intra and extracellular Al ions in the brains of Alzheimer's and autistic brains.
But Alcoa is a massive lobby for Aluminium and it will fight against the truth as it is their business. Cooking in burning aluminium is long term leathal.
I'm watching this Documentary from Auckland New Zealand, it's good to see Lady Naomi Ship transport supplies from Samoa to Tokelau, It's also nice to see solar-powered from New Zealand & help from other countries, Great
No rich no poor, that is a good concept, everything is shared, and everyone work very good
How life SHOULD be
@@artivan111 COMMUNISTS!
Tell that to failed communist nations.
You both missed the fact wealthy NZ pays for their communist existence.
Their dole comes from NZ
Thats why anyone with ambition leaves, why do you think they built boats and navigated around the pacific.
Nice blend of traditional and modern way of living.
Same curriculum in the Philippines in the 80s we do have Industrial arts and Home economics subjects.
Nice documentary but poorly titled. The solar energy system was barely mentioned.
I disagree, there was a good explanation of how big and how efficient their system was and how it has changed their dependency on focil fuels and their use of electric vhicles and the fact that they now have electricity 24 hours a day.
Maybe you should watch it again with the soound turned up?
Scientists are still debating if sea levels are actually rising.
Atolls are always eroding until the volcano erupts again.
Get a bucket of sand once in a while. It's called adaptation.
Right! Because science is forever changing. We’ve adapted to climate thus far 🤷🏻♀️
Besutiful island and beautiful people.
💯 your right about that our ancestors conquer the pacific ocean by navigating where to go by using the sun sky and stars back in them times and they were healthier than us today
I’m an architect since 47 Years and worked in Germany, Sveden and US and worked in the architectural office from Walter Gropius and was part of the designer team of the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin Lützow Ufer In Tiergarten so I have made all this experience from a to z. And these Bauhaus style was create my mind in architecture 😊🧐😉 Architecture is also my hobby not only to earn income and the way to express myself to others😊
Put the bottle down and sober up bud

Well, it should still be banana leaves - aluminium foil is recent not old.
I am sure they do it to conserve the banana trees. Aluminum can be recycled. Trees take far longer to revive or grow new. Sustainability.
You use it
Polynesians have the most beautiful harmony in the world.
What about health and dental care? Dating and marrying? Death care?
excellent quality production
A little bit of a remark here this looks all stunning, who not want to live over there?
What i miss is who created all of this? Who put the money into this? Who build those seawalls? Did the locals help? I know new sealand did but it wasnt mentioned enough in my opinion. And the next important thing is does it work in the future? We wilk see, thanks for sharing from Mexico.
Does the Starlink satellite cover their area?
I quote "The greatest seafarers of all time" Gee, I bet the Norse Vikings would like to comment on that. The Chinese were no slouches either.
And now most fear the seas and fish in protected harbours.
All from Ancient Tongan Lapita Origin Settlement of Polynesia 😊
TRACKS - Travel Documentaries, you're redefining what it means to create content
Refrigeration is a game changer in storing foods. Looking forward to them have Lithium batteries and electric outboards for all their boats!!
They could power the generator on coconut oil or a blend 90% coconut 10% diesel
Living on an island with no mountains is crazy
Not true, Micronesian navigator Mau Piailug traveled to Hawaii to teach the Hawaiians how to navigate the ocean.
If this could just go global
Fishing villages rule
Congratulations, may I visit
❤🤙❤️
if aluminum foil is recycled...
Севастополь привет
Who built the solar panels
China. Paid for by NZ.
Lead acid and hundreds of inverters???? Must be a government project
It's all government money and donations mostly from New Zealand taxpayers. Why is the question, what do we get back in return.
The Greatest Seafarers Of All Time. How Do You Know That When It Was Not Written How Many DIED. A lizard survives on a log and travels thousands of miles to reach a new World a coconut does the same to a new world but history doesn’t record for those who Died on the way but only the ones that survived. The coconut and lizard can’t speak. From a Aitutaki Cook Islander.
Many would have died, many would have been lost and never made it
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s sad to hear my family calling out to the world of enlighten civilisation to fall on deaf ears 😢
Start a small program, visitor’s can pay for a program certification on celestial navigation, I’m in
🤙❤️🤙
Thx. for the video. Why do they use Lead Acid Batteries to store the power instead of the new Litthium batteries? especially considering the new LFP battery chemistry has about 3000+ charging cycles.
Also, can't help wondering what they do with all the garbage that is generated from those disposable 'Silver Foil Plates' that they use for eating food.
Waste is burned and buried.
Lead acid batteries are affordable. NZ pays for their existence. The elders decide how funds are spent. An investment in Li batteries is more than they can afford.
If they had lithium batteries it would triple their battery capacity and have more fresh water from desalination plants, generators would not be required on in extreme emergencies.
@@J.Cameron.Stuart.Adams. Long term lead acid is far more expensive 1:4 you can use up to 80%+ on lithium versus 50% on lead acid and last up to 5 times longer life, so which ones are more affordable? like for like is lead acid 30k v lithium 8k.
Looks like they don’t do this often. Lots of overweight people. Hi sugar n saturated fat diet.
There’s no rich and there’s no poor everybody shares
in our not to distant history it was discovered that simgle keel boats were safer than pontoon boats and that is why over the last 500 years or so there have been no pontoon boats used as it was determined mono hull was much safer. Today people think they can build stronger pontoon boats with apartment attached and they can go anywhere in their hehe so stable boats. I just have one question, how many pontoon boats and righted themselves after fliping over. I have been knocked down twice and had a fast recovery in monohulls with full keels. I would never recoment a fin keel to anyone that wants to cruise the world. Be as safe as possible , buy a full keel sailing yacht.
They have so little land and they aren't raising the panels up or on the roof,not good thinking
Imagine being a country that never invented high technology.... You'd feel pathetic
I have difficulty imagining being a country. I don’t know what countries think or feel. I can imagine being a person, you perhaps, but I can’t imagine you ever invented any high technology.
Do you feel, appropriately stupid?
Then what you do with the old batteries just throw them in the ocean
no rich no poor and everybody is obese!

What if they use lifepo4 battery
Too expensive.
The use of aluminum foil is disappointing.... and in less than 80 years, these islands will disappear... it's just fact...
I've been living oceanside for 43 years. Sea level IS NOT RISING.
@olsim1730 been living oceanside 53 years.... beach eroded a lot.. where we used to walk is all sea now... especially sandy beaches... rock beaches take very long, obviously... a place like Miami will be gone by 2090
Lead acid batteries ,old technology
But cheap and reliable, if weight and space are not a problem.
@@q.e.d.9112 not a lot of cycles,and almost same price as lifepo4
Such a beautiful place but unfortunately will be under water in a 100 years or less.
Scientists have already warned us. Many years ago But it's still there
No
Who pays for all of that?
The gov who do u think pays for it mate
New Zealand.
Fat and happy people
Consumerism
So if its so perfect there on your tropical island why do so many of your kind come to Au to live eh my good man?
May I ask what is ur background m8 ? !!!
The same reason your own ancestors migrated there 🙄😂
Sad. Traditional?. Destroying traditions.
My thoughts exactly. A shadow of former tradition
While solar has benefited ... there are other ways they don't want us to know about much better than solar or wind.
Diesel mo bettah
Such as?
Won't be there after global warming
