Carbon dioxide is an integral part of the carbon cycle, a biogeochemical cycle in which carbon is exchanged between the Earth's oceans, soil, rocks and the biosphere. Plants and other photoautotrophs use solar energy to produce carbohydrate from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water by photosynthesis.

Lahaina, on the other side of the island, is more laid-back and picturesque, with many restaurants and small stores right at the water's edge, a feature that most other towns in Hawaii surprisingly don't offer. To the north are Ka'anapali, Napili and Kapalua, which together with Lahaina are one of Maui's main tourism hubs. The other one is the Kihei and Wailea area to the south. Outside of these main residential areas are many sleepy little towns, including remote Hana and Kipahulu on Maui's east shore. Maui's total population is 144,444 (2010 Census).
