I ka pule aku nei, Nahelehele ʻAmelika ua hoʻolaha ʻo 10 mau kūlanakauhale maikaʻi loa o ʻAmelika no nā ululāʻau kūlanakauhale. Hoʻokahi kūlanakauhale o Kaleponi ma ia papa inoa - Sacramento. Ma kahi mokuʻāina ma kahi o 94% o ko mākou heluna kanaka e noho ana ma kahi kūlanakauhale, a i ʻole 35 miliona mau Kaleponi, he mea nui e pili ana i ka nui o ko mākou mau kūlanakauhale ʻaʻole i hana i ka papa inoa a ʻaʻole ʻo nā ululāʻau kūlanakauhale ka mea nui i ko mākou mau luna koho. a me nā mea hana kulekele. Noho mākou i kahi mokuʻāina e hana i nā papa inoa 10 kiʻekiʻe, me 6 o nā kūlanakauhale 10 kiʻekiʻe o US me ka pollution ʻino loa. ʻO kā mākou mau ululāʻau kūlanakauhale, nā ʻenehana ʻōmaʻomaʻo o kā mākou kūlanakauhale, pono e lilo i mea nui no nā kūlanakauhale a puni ka mokuʻāina.
ʻAʻole kūʻē ka hapa nui o ka poʻe i nā lāʻau, ʻaʻole lākou makemake. Akā ʻaʻole pono lākou. Hoʻopili ke aʻo ʻana ma hope o ka noiʻi ʻana i ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo o ke kūlanakauhale me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke olakino lehulehu: 40 pākēneka ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe i ke kaumaha a i ʻole ka momona, ʻo ka poʻe noho he 3 manawa ma mua o ka hoʻoikaika kino ʻana, ua hoʻemi nā keiki i nā hōʻailona o ka maʻi deficit nānā, ke kiʻekiʻe a me ka hānō, a ʻoi aku ka haʻahaʻa o ke kaumaha.
Inā ʻaʻole lawa ka hōʻike ʻana o nā pono hiki ʻole o nā lāʻau i ko kākou kaiapuni, pehea nā kālā a me nā keneta? Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi haʻawina e pili ana i nā kumulāʻau ma ke awāwa waena e hāʻawi i kahi kumulāʻau nui ma luna o $2,700 i nā pono kaiapuni a me nā pono ʻē aʻe i kona ola ʻana. ʻO ia ka 333% hoʻihoʻi i ka hoʻopukapuka. No 100 mau kumulāʻau ākea nui, hiki i nā kaiāulu ke mālama ma luna o $190,000 i 40 mau makahiki. I ka makahiki i hala, ua hoʻolako kālā ʻo California ReLeaf ma luna o 50 mau papahana me nā hoa kaiāulu e hopena i nā kumu lāʻau 20,000 i kanu ʻia, a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana a i ʻole ka paʻa ʻana o 300 mau hana a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa hana no ka nui o nā ʻōpio. Ua hoʻohui ka ʻoihana ululāʻau kūlanakauhale ma ke ʻano he $3.6 biliona i ka hoʻokele waiwai o Kaleponi i ka makahiki i hala.
No laila, eia kā mākou luʻi iā ʻoe Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco, Fresno, Long Beach, Oakland, Bakersfield, a me Anaheim: ma ke ʻano he 10 o nā kūlanakauhale nui loa ma Kaleponi, e hoʻoikaika e hui pū me Sacramento ma ka 10. ʻO ka papa inoa maikaʻi loa e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i kāu ʻoihana kūlanakauhale, olakino, palekana, ea a me ka maikaʻi o ka wai. E kanu i nā lāʻau, e mālama pono i kāu mau lāʻau i kēia manawa, a e hoʻokomo i loko o kou mau kūlanakauhale ʻōmaʻomaʻo. E hui pū me mākou i ke kākoʻo ʻana i nā papahana kūloko, e hoʻolilo i nā ululāʻau kūlanakauhale i ʻāpana o nā kulekele o kāu mau kūlanakauhale, a e waiwai i nā kumulāʻau a me nā ʻōmaʻomaʻo i mea kōkua nui i ka ea maʻemaʻe, ka mālama ʻana i ka ikehu, ka maikaʻi o ka wai a me ke olakino a me ka maikaʻi o kou kamaʻāina.
ʻO kēia nā hopena e alakaʻi i kahi Kaleponi maikaʻi a me nā kaiāulu ʻōmaʻomaʻo.
